About me

Emmy and RTS- nominated Series / Senior Producer and Edit Producer working across documentary, current affairs and specialist factual. Experience creating and managing teams on multi-part documentary series. Available September 2023. I have extensive experience managing teams of APs/Researchers/Edit Producers, scripting and running edits, high level institutional access negotiations, setting up and producing shoots, sourcing and licensing archive, and thorough research. I can self-shoot on the FS7, Canon Xf305, C300. I am also skilled at sensitively casting and filming with often hard to access contributors. I specialise in documentaries that tell difficult and inspiring stories with genuine warmth, covering complex subject areas including working poverty, mental health, sex, sexuality and crime. I am particularly skilled at interviewing and bringing out the best in contributors, having interviewed people ranging from high level political figures, to severely neurodivergent young people, to families of drag queens. My background generally lies in observational documentaries and personal testimony driven films. I also spent two years VT and edit producing for flagship BBC current affairs programme Newsnight. In terms of development, I have taken ideas from conception through to securing development funding and commissions for multiple UK terrestrial channels. I have also worked on funded developments for the BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Discovery and France 2. Trained up by the BBC through their prestigious Production Trainee Scheme, which ran from Oct 2013 - Oct 2014. I was formerly a Broadcast Journalist working across BBC flagship news programmes.
