I appreciate your understanding and look forward to getting back into the world of work when I'm back on my feet (figuratively speaking, that is!).

After graduating from the Central School of Speech and Drama with a First with Honours in Theatre Practice (Production Lighting) in 2008, I spent a decade in the live events and theatre industry as a video engineer and design associate, working around the world on productions ranging from small fringe venues, musicals, and new theatre shows, to corporate product launches and charity galas, operas, and music concerts.I decided I wanted to leave the freelance life and move into full-time employment, and in 2019 I started work as a contractor at PwC (one of the Big Four accounting and professional services firms), working in Operations. I became full-time in 2020, and spent three years upskilling myself and then working on data visualisation and analytics projects, becoming proficient in various data wrangling and visualisation tools. I've always been interested in stories and how they are told, right from when I started work in youth theatre in my teens, and that applies just as well to how data is analysed and visualised to help tell the stories that the data holds.I am passionate about sharing what I know, and am comfortable working with a range of stakeholders - junior and senior, causual and formal - to speak confidently about what I'm working on.I believe in outcomes rather than outputs, and that any piece of work must be able to answer the "so what?" question that stakeholders need answering. There is no point in creating a nice pretty dashboard with lots of bells and whistles if it doesn't provide answers to the important questions the business needs resolving.I have also spoken openly about various diversity and inclusion topics within the workplace - including disability, neurodivergence, gender, and sexuality - and am an advodate for driving meaningful and lasting change within organisations to improve inclusion, awareness, and acceptance for disabled and neurodiverse people, and gender and sexual minorities.

I worked at in a corporate environment at PwC between 2019 to 2023, starting in one role and upskilling myself into another where I saw there was an unmet need for those skills. Before that was a self-employed freelance theatre and live events technician. This particular work involved running my own business, and being responsible for the end-to-end production of complex video systems for large-scale events, from initial design meetings with the creative team, though supplier technical specification and contract negations, to working on-site with local crew to realise the artistic vision of the entire creative team.My roles within PwC included Operations, but I then upskilled myself on data analytics and visualisation, and I quickly pivoted to that being my main function within the team. In that role, I undertook various projects - both within my local team and firmwide - to help senior leadership get a better understanding of our internal business processes and situation.I was made redundant from PwC in 2023 after teamwide restructuring where my role was my obsolete, and following that I have had a long-term health condition rendering me unable to work.Below are a number of my professional highlights.PwC
- Worked on a firmwide project to collect, analyse, and visualise data on the technologists within the firm. This provided insights into areas needing improvement, and parts of the business that were performing well, resulting in directed actions to improve our technology proficiency and make more effective use of our in-house tech knowledge and skills.- Created and maintained a project to track our teams work hours, pegged to various KPIs and metrics, which allowed us to better target areas of the business to enhance our role in supporting the firms long-term growth.- Created and updated my teams monthly reporting to allow more streamlined and efficient collection of data, and to present to senior leadership on the overall health of the team.- Worked on the data analytics and data architecture of a key growth area within the business, responsible for significant investment for the firm. This platform was seen and used by the highest level of the organisation to better drive our overall firm's strategy with regards to technology investment and growth.Freelance live events and theatre technician

What I am looking for is a chance to flex my data visualisation and data storytelling skills within a challenging and fast-paced environment. I work best when given clear objectives and deadlines, with close-contact with colleagues and managers to ensure that the work I am producing will meet all end-goals for the project. I also thrive when I get the chance to talk to relevant stakeholders to ensure that the work I produce will provide the answers they need, to give the project that personal touch.I am most comfortable working within tight timeframes, given clear directions, and there I will focus in on the task at hand. I am confident in proactively bringing up issues or interesting discoveries to managers, and am more than happy to stretch myself and push outside of my comfort zone in order to add more value and impact to the work I produce.Due to my disabilities my preference is to work from home, where I work best when it comes to focussed, intensive tasks that require additional concentration, in an environment that is less painful for me and free from distractions. However I also require face-to-face office time to connect with colleagues and find that this helps build more meaningful and productive relationships that ultimately produce better outcomes. Those kinds of personal connections are essential to building an effective, outcome-driven product that provides more value and impact - you can't simply look at the numbers alone to draw meaningful conclusions.I have previously worked within a corporate environment, but also within the world of theatre, which is obviously much more casual! When it comes to working environment and culture, for me it's more about ensuring that I can build connections and relationships with those I work with rather than the environment itself, so any company where I can work within a team to collaborate and support each other is ideal.My long-term goal is to build a name for myself as the go-to person for creating and demoing visualisations that help clients - internal or external - to guide them through their data in an intuitive, concise, and inspirational way, leading to actionable insights for them to provide real, long-term, valuable improvements.
