I'm a visual storyteller and filmmaker with a background in Science Communication and Marine Science based in the UK.

For the past five years I've worked in a small production team at a New Zealand science institute producing short films, digital imagery and photography for use online, in media, social and print. I have worked on location in Antarctica, and have plenty of experience in the field and at sea.

I have experience developing creative stories based on science, working closely with scientsits to do so. I'm a confident self-shooter, drone pilot, editor and photgrapher. I've experience on a variety of cameras and camera techniques and can develop a story from idea to screen competently. I've experience working at sea producing content on research voyages, setting up and conducting interviews, and working on shoots in the outdoors and in remote environments. I am a keen editor and have an eye for detail and data management. 

In the past I've worked as an intern and researcher at Natural History New Zealand (NHNZ) and am keen to work in the TV and Film industry more. I'm organised, practical, quick-learning and a bubbly team member.  I have a Kiwi can-do attitude, and am a driven problem-solver, with dual NZ and UK citizenship.
