About
I am a Griersons-nominated documentary producer / director with 12 years' experience on premium, access-led documentaries and specialist factual programmes have taken me up the Mayan pyramids, through Sri Lanka’s rainforests and deep into the Omani Desert for Netflix, BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Discovery and National Geographic.
Working within a small female-led team at Empress Films, I produced and edit produced Ep2 of the acclaimed Depp v Heard series for Netflix / Channel 4, which topped no1. in 88 countries and was watched 30 million times in the first week.
An accomplished self-shooter, I've racked up broadcast shooting credits on Channel 4’s prestigious current affairs strand Dispatches, observational series like Emergency and presenter-led singles such as BBC3’s Stacey Dooley: Back On The Psych Ward.
I am currently producing a feature film at Netflix, whilst developing two independently-funded ideas as a director.
