About

I’m a committed Assistant Producer with experience working on specialist factual, documentaries and current affairs for major broadcasters such as the BBC, Discovery Channel and ITV.
Experienced in developing ideas, securing difficult international location access, working with sensitive contributors, scripting and developing key sequences, archive sourcing and fact checking. I relish the chance to break down large complex subjects into a flowing narrative in subjects such as history, current affairs and the arts. Confident and experienced at working with high profile talent and contributors from diverse backgrounds. I have worked both supporting crews from the office and on location. I am comfortable working individually or as part of a team, developing stories through quality research from the ground-up.

Curious, outgoing and aware, I work hard irrespective of the task and relish a challenge. I wish to build on my current specialist factual and documentary experience working on ambitious projects.
