About me
I am a Researcher with a passion for factual and current affairs content. I have strong attention to detail, excellent spoken and written communication skills as well as solid organisational skills whilst also having the ability to contribute ideas confidently in a creative environment. Television is an incredible platform to educate and start conversation – to make people learn, smile, laugh and think – and I hope to be involved in content that does this.
