- Great Poets in Their Own WordsI assisted on the production of Great Poets in Their Own Words which was broadcast in the summer 2014 on BBC4. My responsibilities included fact-checking information in the programs script using reliable sources, transcribing interviews from the BBC's archive, and sourcing high resolution photographs and their copyright holders. Other duties included answering the phone, running errands on shoot, and tracking down specific editions of poetry collections – which involved a scouring of many London library catalogues.

On the initiative of Mgr Barry Wymes and in anticipation of Blessed Mother Teresa's canonisation in September, I have been commissioned to undertake research into her influence upon people in Surrey and visits to the county in the 70s. The aims of the project are:
• To raise awareness of the local impact that Mother Teresa had
• To prepare materials allowing the words she spoke be repeated for people 41 years later
• To support the Year of Mercy through Mother Teresa's focus on the corporal and spiritual acts of mercy
I have carried out numerous interviews and uncovered video footage, photos, press clippings, and letters to compile a rich set of research material. I have then formatted this to make a small pamphlet for distribution to the Surrey parishes in September and created a website. I am currently producing a documentary.
