Going to the cinema has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. The excitement of being in a dark room and the shared experience thrills me immensely. It wasn’t obvious to me at first that I could combine my passion and work to have a career in entertainment.

My career in the cinema industry started working as a customer service assistant at a four-screen cinema in London, where I quickly moved up and became a manager. I helped run the cinema’s daily operations, such as working the projection room, handling customer queries and complaints, and administrating the cinema staff. I was also in charge of all things marketing to promote the cinema and new releases using social media, in-house marketing activities, newsletters, press releases and building up effective relationships with other businesses and the community to maximise box office results.

Being at a cinema everyday helped me to become familiar with the type of customer that attends event cinema and what they are looking for in the big screen experience. I am very happy to be part of the Trafalgar Releasing team and help deliver exciting concerts, documentaries, plays and more, to audiences across the world, giving them a special and memorable night out.

In my free time, if not in a cinema auditorium, I will be out for a run in one of London’s beautiful parks, seeing a play or musical, catching some live music, exploring different cuisines, planning my next trip or tasting craft beers at independent breweries.
