About me

I’m a Producer/Project Manager with just over nine years media industry experience, specialising in digital content production across video, editorial, social and web. I have a background in brand marketing, so have come into production from a slightly different angle, which I love because it means I still have a lot to learn, but also that I can bring a unique and valuable perspective. My career kicked off when I join a then-very-small team at Airbnb where I was lucky to eventually become part of an amazing team of people in the marketing department, and spent five years managing brand partnerships and campaigns across the UK and EMEA. I always loved collaborating with creative teams to help bring ideas to fruition, so when I heard one of my other favourite brands was starting an in-house custom content studio, I decided to join the small but mighty crew of people at National Geographic CreativeWorks (now part of The Walt Disney Company – believe it or not!), where I currently work as a Producer/Project Manager, reporting into the Head of Production and working directly into the Creative Director. Over the last three years, I’ve had the amazing opportunity to inform processes ensuring the smooth operating of the studio, and to produce some pretty amazing purpose-led branded content, all over the world - from a gorilla-naming ceremony in Rwanda to fishing net rescue-mission in Cameroon. I work best in fast-paced environments, adapt quickly to change, can hit the ground running, and am happy wearing many hats. One of my focuses at the moment is ensuring more diversity at every stage of production, especially when it comes to engaging female film directors.
