About
I am a driven and adaptable Assistant Producer with experience across all stages of production; from development, through to the edit.
I thrive working on complex and detail oriented projects and have a proven track record of finding and securing access to stories and navigating complex compliance protocols.
I am able to bring emotional intelligence and warmth to sensitive scenarios and consistently develop strong working relationship with contributors and colleagues.
I am also able to self-shoot and have experience with the FX6, FX9 and FS7.
