As the Production Coordinator at DARE, Jamila is across all productions, supporting the team partly in development but mainly from pre-production to the final delivery. Jamila helps with all requests from booking hotel rooms, to organising white-perspex grand pianos in a stately palace. As well as this, she assists Derren (CEO) with scheduling his diary, making sure his days run as smoothly as possible. 

Prior to DARE, Jamila spent 4 years learning everything there is to know about Media Production at the University of Brighton. Jamila has impressively secured a place on Channel 4's Production Management Skills Fund, where she is supported in her continuous journey developing her skillset to the best of her ability.

“I am proud to say I work in an environment that sticks by its core values behind the camera. Empowerment is especially important to me as part of my personality is being a cheerleader to colleagues on and off camera to make sure they remember their achievements and I am grateful that I receive the same energy back.”
