About
• Grierson Trust DocLab Trainee 2019 - I achieved a place on this prestigious Grierson scheme, which helps young people from diverse backgrounds get into the documentary television industry.
• I am currently a freelance Runner in documentary and factual TV. My goal is to work my way up to Junoir Researcher and Researcher roles in documentary! I have worked in production teams for BBC1 and Channel 4 documentaries so far in my career.
Being working class myself, I have a particular interest in work that tackles or tells stories about marginalised groups and social issues. I also have a passion for film and documentary photography.
