I'm an award-winning documentary maker, with extensive experience in developing and producing critically acclaimed films that tell distinctive, timely stories, with real intimacy and heart. My recent credits include filming and directing a single feature length documentary for Channel 4 due to TX in Spring 2024, directing a Rose d’Or nominated First Cut film, as well as working as a Producer on the BAFTA and Grierson award-winning ‘Locked In: Breaking the Silence’ for BBC Storyville. 

As a regionally based filmmaker I'm particularly interested in finding new ways to explore the perspectives of underrepresented voices. I have extensive experience in TV development and production and have worked with a diverse range of institutions, including the NHS, police, schools, local authorities and a range of charities. I have worked abroad in challenging, remote environments, set-up complicated foreign and UK based shoots and am comfortable when managing vulnerable contributors and highly sensitive access relationships. I have strong investigative editorial skills, a passion for storytelling and experience of working in edits for series with complex compliance considerations. I am particularly interested in observational documentaries and creative, past-tense factual storytelling.

For background, neither of my parents attended university and I was the first person from my local comprehensive school to gain a place at Cambridge. Whilst studying there I achieved a First-Class degree in Politics, Psychology and Sociology. After graduating I earned a place on a Journalism Internship with BBC Radio 4 and worked across a range of factual and arts programmes. I was then awarded a position on the prestigious Grierson Trust Documentary training scheme in 2013, which involved industry training in factual TV and feature film production. I worked for the BBC Documentaries Department in Bristol for 4 years, gaining extensive experience in both development and production, including working on BAFTA-winning factual dramas, short-form content, and specialist factual programmes.

I have worked on several critically acclaimed documentary series including ‘Drugsland’ (BBC Three) and ‘School’ (BBC Two). In 2019 I was named as one of the Edinburgh TV Festival’s ‘Ones to Watch’ and in 2020 I finished working as a Producer on a feature film documentary for BBC Storyville called ‘Locked In: Breaking the Silence’ (BAFTA Winner - Best Single Documentary/Grierson Winner - Best Science Documentary). In the summer of 2021 I finished my first project as a self-shooting Director; ‘The Boy Who Can’t Stop Dancing’, a critically acclaimed First Cut film for Channel 4. The programme received widespread media coverage and positive reviews, it was described as: ‘instantly uplifting’ (The Daily Telegraph, What to Watch), ‘heartfelt' (The Radio Times, Documentary of the Week) and ‘cinematic’ (The Times, Critic’s Choice).
