About.
Chantel is a technical professional in academia. My most recent practice is in screen and media where I obtained hands-on experience across both scripted and unscripted broadcast television, covering the full production pipeline—from pre-production development research, production studio & on-location shoots and wrangling, to post-production sync mapping, and edit preparation. With a background in fine art from the renowned Glasgow School of Art, She brings a strong visual sensibility and creative approach to every project. Chantel is technically proficient across camera, lighting, sound, and editing, with expertise in ACES, DaVinci Resolve, Avid Media Composer, Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects workflows and processes. Her professional training includes institutions such as the National Film and Television School, Soho Editors, the University of Salford, and The Research Centre. In her current role, she ensures the smooth operation of technical systems and provides front-facing services at a dynamic media loan centre. She supports students and staff in the School of Arts and Humanities with equipment access and technical guidance at Edith Cowan University.
