About

As a senior Producer Director and sustainable productions specialist working in unscripted specialist factual content production, and a HETV Leader of Tomorrow 2025, I am looking for opportunities for creative collaborations that drive positive change.

I believe stories shape our understanding of the world, and that creative storytelling can lead us to a brighter future.

As well as my most recent PD roles, researching, scripting, edit producing, self-shooting, and overseeing complex access and H&S on remote high-risk projects like HETV titles Chimp Empire for Netflix, and Islands for Sky and Discovery, I have been acting as a CoOrganiser for the Filmmakers For Future: Wildlife community. We use collective action to speed up the transition to greener, fairer and less extractive, and more impactful production practices.

Working with key industry decision makers I have influenced legal and contractual changes with channels and co-producers to make educational rights to footage more equitable, piloted a cameraperson traineeship in Sri Lanka, aimed to reduce the extractive nature of production, and Produced impact films and events for international conferences like UN COP26 and Wildscreen.

As a leader in this space, I have also contributed to the evolution of ALBERT, as well as providing learning opportunities at online events for green teams and key decision maker across Warner Brothers/ Discovery/ HBO.
