About me

An approachable, enthusiastic, Grierson Trust DocLab graduate on their highly competitive programme for those passionate about factual TV. Eager to transfer my skills from development and move into roles in production, ideally within documentary or factual entertainment. Confident at devising shoot logistics, I enjoy getting stuck in on location and using my initiative to proactively assess the needs of the crew. I love deep diving into the details of a story or character and collaborating with the team to brainstorm ideas. Keen to develop production experience within editorial and build on my technical shooting skills in documentary. With detail orientated researching at Rogan Productions to creating innovative entertainment concepts at MGM - I enjoy bringing a diverse perspective to development ideas. Excellent at tracking down tricky contributors I can help bring potential contributors to a project while also conducting research interviews. Working on set for primetime pilots at MGM and on Horrible Histories as a production runner, coordinating with the production team to facilitate smooth progress in pre-production and on set. A hard-working creative problem solver used to focusing on my initiative in stressful situations. Experienced in delivering to live clients such as Voluntary Norfolk and working on briefs for ELLISS, I'm confident in conversing with professional clients and devising shoot logistics. I love bringing a positive outlook to the team while being friendly and keen to learn.
