Biography

Graduated in TV & Video Production in 2003, did a winter season as a chalet host in the French Alps then travelled the US, Canada and Mexico. Then reality hit and I had to be responsible and get a job! First 'real' job was as a VT Operative in a busy Soho post production house. My passion for the outdoors led me to work in an outdoor sports shop for a while. Had my fill of London, tube trains and the smog so moved back to Scotland and volunteered for EIFF as Mirrorball Assistant in 2007, this led to a permanent roll as Administration Assistant for the Filmhouse office. Since then my roll has grown into Office Manager of Centre for the Moving Image.
