I have worked on a wide variety of productions in numerous different positions within the Sound Department over the past 15 years both in Studio and in Outside Broadcasts. Having completed Sound Supervisor Training with ITV, I have gained a lot of technical knowledge and interpersonal skills attending planning meetings, identifying potential audio issues and finding production friendly audio solutions. 

I have used Spot On Audio as a source of playback for many years and am fully proficient in its usage. I can navigate most audio multitrack recording software with confidence and am able to populate ISO recordings to make locating audio recordings smooth. I am highly experienced using radio microphones, effects microphones, desk microphones, IEMs and radio communication systems including installing and operating Riedel communication. The main platforms I have used are Riedel set ups with Calrec desks, though am comfortable on a range of other desks and communication setups. 

I have a good understanding of both of these systems and am always looking for ways to increase my knowledge of these. I adhere to risk assessments, take direction from other Sound Supervisors, Directors, Producers and Floor Managers and interact with production teams, guests and presenters alike.
