About

I am a Shooting Researcher working in Unscripted Television, currently in Sports. In 2021, I worked on productions including Amazon Prime's Autumn Nations Series, the BBC's Escape to the Country and Sky's original film, The Colour Room.

As a freelancer, I produce/direct my own promotional films, read scripts, review films, write press-releases and provide editorial support to a variety of writers. I am also a confident driver (age 25) with my own car and business insurance.
