About
I love keeping projects organised and connecting people in the creative industries. In my 20 year career I’ve worked in production & staffing roles for Air TV, BBC Studios, BBC News, BBC Sport, BBC Education, Red Bee Media, Johnston Press, and specialist TV staffing company Talented People. I have experience in factual TV, digital content, news, sport, and events.
I’ve built a significant and diverse network of off-air talent across many job levels, and am well connected in the broadcast talent management community in London and the North of England. With a particular focus now on factual television, I have extensive experience partnering with senior stakeholders on staffing & production management, and am able to collaborate and work independently to produce results and hit deadlines.
I take pride in my methodical accuracy, and my communication skills combined with emotional intelligence enables productive, effective relationships with people from entry level to Creative Directors.
