About me
Driven and detail-oriented bilingual shooting documentary producer/director with a journalistic background and a strong editorial eye.
Most recently I worked onboard the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, to produce an observational documentary series for BBC2 about the ship’s first operational deployment.
Skilled at concise storytelling, archive producing, conducting interviews and composing pitches. Experienced with enlisting and managing relationships with a wide range of contributors and talent. I enjoy finding creative solutions to budget constraints and working under pressure.
