Profile

I'm a radio producer, studio manager and A/V technician with over a decade of experience across BBC, commercial and community radio. I love what I do — whether that's getting the best sound out of a studio desk, making content that connects with people, or helping a team out of a technical hole.

Outside of work I mentor young adults through the Rotary Youth Leadership Award in District 1040, and provide music for wedding, prom and Christmas receptions as a DJ.
