Having opportunities to work on the Premier League, The Open Golf, Rugby Union World Cup and the Cycling World Championships has been vital in me having the chance to work in a fast paced environment when producing content. This has come with its challenges, but I have taken great pride in offering a high standard of work in high pressured environments.
