Sarah Mesterton-Gibbons: Difference between revisions

Sarah Mesterton-Gibbons became a member of YSTV in October of 2014, and was elected [[Outside Broadcast Coordinators|Outside Broadcast Coordinator]] in January of 2015, holding the position until September. She produced [[Children in Need 2014]] along with [[Matthew Ingram]], [[Amy Wilson]], and [[Robyn Place]] (coming up with some beary bad puns in the process), and presented the two-hour live show with Robyn, ending up with a mouthful of fluffy marshmallows. She and [[Kenric Yuen]] co-produced [[Roses 2015]] (a huge sporting tournament between York and Lancaster), for which Sarah produced five daytime studio shows. Sarah directed YUSU Elections Results Night coverage 2015 - the equivalent of jumping in at the deep end - and then decided to actually jump in the deep end for a swim across Whitby harbour mouth with Helen Hobin and Iona McEwen after filming Lights on Literature, so that Sam Nicholson would have to drive home. Sarah wants to be a children's television producer some day, and worked at a PBS member TV station in Florida before coming to York to complete her MA degree in Psycholinguistics. She also worked for the reality TV show Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta, as an associate producer on location. Sarah really loves making telly, and has a love/dislike relationship with autocue. She has a really, really long and complicated last name (hence the abbreviation, M-G). Sarah does crafty things and reads in her spare time, and doesn't eat meat (aka, vegetarianism...everyone has an -ism these days). She has spent many a happy hour winding cables onto drums at 2am and filling out event management forms. Sarah was awarded "YSTV Mum" at the [[FLOPPYs#2015 | 2015 Floppy Awards]].
