ABOUT ME
I am married to a very experienced DOP who works in both TV and the commercial’s world and has his own photography company. We have a fab little boy called Cassian and two completely mad dogs, Boudicea and Liselotte!
I play the piano, love to read, walk the mutts, cook canapés professionally, am a shopaholic (shoes and jewellery), love all things motorised and am into the supernatural – particularly mad on shows about ghosts, witches and vampires!
WORK ME
I am a multi-camera studio / location TV Director and Producer able to work both in multi / single camera PSC environments. I direct a wide range of programme types including; sport, music, current affairs, kids TV, cookery, lifestyle, archaeology, chat shows, wildlife, premieres, commercials, formatted fact ent etc.
I also produce and edit produce.
My raison d'etre is to make beautiful pictures, so working on a variety of different food shows has been fantastic yet calorific! To film Great Whites from a fishing boat in the middle of the Pacific (Killer Shark Live) and to unearth an undiscovered complete 2000 year old pot (Big Roman Dig) have been amazing highlights!
I am hard-working, creative, enthusiastic and passionate about what I do. I am very organised so love running a team but also really enjoy being part of one too. I love making shows I can be proud of!!
