There were people in my university class who had never even touched a camera before, never mind done the stuff we would do at Highlands.
While still studying, Jack secured work experience with BBC Channel Islands, building contacts and gaining valuable insight into the industry. Those early opportunities led to freelance work, which eventually opened the door to a role at the BBC while he was still completing his degree. By his final year at university, Jack was already working one day a week for the BBC. Within a week of graduating, he had secured a permanent full-time role.
What began as a role supporting broadcasts quickly evolved into a career spanning news operations, technical production and large-scale international broadcasting projects. Over the past decade, Jack has worked on some of the world's biggest news events, including supporting coverage of elections, working on presidential inauguration events in Washington DC, and contributing to coverage surrounding Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, where he was responsible for audio feeds distributed to broadcasters around the world, ultimately reaching millions of people.
He has also travelled internationally to support BBC operations and the technical set up of news bureaus, working with teams in countries including Singapore and the United States, experiences he admits he could never have imagined when he started his studies in Jersey.
