Drawing on my extensive shooting and editing experience combined with my online content expertise, MAKE THE GRADE caters for all your video and content needs.
​
With 20 years commercial experience as a television camera operator, video producer and content manager, I have worked extensively in the UK and New Zealand television/video industries, winning awards in both markets.
I spent the first decade of my career working for all of the UK's major broadcasters and production companies. I moved to New Zealand in 2009, where I spent many happy years working for TV3 as a current affairs camera operator. The highlights of this time were working with many of New Zealand's top journalists and shooting on every continent, including Antarctica.
​
On return to London in 2015 I worked as Head of Cameras for Chelsea Football Club, Video Manager at the University of East London and Content Manager at Independent Age, a national UK charity. The skills and knowledge developed over my career have led me to where I am today and MAKE THE GRADE.
