Biography
I have been working in Television Production for nearly 20 years, having started my career in the Film Industry in New York in the year 2000. Since moving back to Ireland in 2005 however, I have moved into TV production and have now been working as a Producer and Line Producer for over 10 years. As such, I have extensive experience in all aspects of the production cycle, both from a management perspective, as well as the editorial side. I have managed both films and large scale event-style, live TV productions from start to finish, and have more recently editorially produced some of Ireland’s most well-known TV shows.
I am very used to managing all types of budgets, from low budget documentaries to multi-million Euro live entertainment programmes. I have managed teams of up to 50 people and am extremely knowledgeable of the many ebbs and flows of a production.
