I have been working with Claudia for over 2 years, first as my assistant and then as a researcher on Horizon.

As my assistant Claudia was brilliant. Very organised and able to juggle my diary with the ability to prioritise meetings and events with insight.

However, it was clear that Claudia's ambitions lay in taking the researcheditorial route and I was thrilled we were able to give her the opportunity.

Claudia has been fantastic as a researcher. On her role in Horizon's development team she was able to take a brief and write a treatment with confidence. She also understands the importance of journalisticientific rigour and has the instinct to recognise a good story.

On production Claudia has many exceptional qualities. She is especially brilliant with contributors and many producers have reported back to me how great she is on location. Claudia worked on a particularly difficult episode of Horizon and was not only a quick learner but understood the brief and was able to adapt the editorial needs as the programme changed during production.

I'd be more than happy to give Claudia a reference anr a personal recommendation if needed.
