Creative, sharp, and endlessly curious. I'm a senior researcher and wannabe emerging AP with 5+ years’ experience across blue-chip wildlife series, live, factual entertainment, children’s science, and archive-led storytelling. Whether I’m developing presenter-led ideas, writing pitch treatments, shaping story arcs, or curating unforgettable decks, I bring strong editorial instincts, visual flair, and a real passion for storytelling that cuts through.
