I am a commissioner, development executive, executive producer, director, programmer and producer with over 10 years experience working in varying roles across factual tv and documentary, narrative film and theatre, and digital content. From 2018-2020 I was Head of Video Development at Dazed Media. Previously I worked on documentary productions for Netflix and Channel 4 as well as developing films in collaboration with The ICA, London, El Colegio Del Cuerpo, Cartgena and The Annenberg Foundation, LA. I also write and have just finished my first novel.
I have a background working with young people in the UK, USA and Colombia through outreach programmes and bodies such as WAC Arts, El Colegio Del Cuerpo, The Dots and Arts Emergency. I am embedded in the London arts and film scene and have a wealth of contacts in the creative industries; I am dedicated to an equitable way of working in all that I do.
