Reliable Shooting Assistant Producer / Researcher with credits in documentary and factual programmes, supporting productions from initial research to delivery. My experience spans development and location work through to supporting edits in fact-checking, archive research, and clearance, with a collaborative approach taken across pre-production, shoot teams, and post.

Editorially, known for attention to detail, judgement, and building sound relationships with contributors, as well as negotiating hard-to-access locations both in the UK and internationally. Motivated by visual storytelling. Highly organised, I am also proficient in compliance, including background checks and coordinating release forms.

I can shoot on Sony FX6/FX9/FX3/FS7/A7S, operate a RONIN, and I am also a licensed drone operator and owner. I have shot Second Camera working closely with PDs. Committed to working long days and I keep a cool head under pressure. 

With editorial and technical skills, coupled with a boundless energy and enthusiasm, I am a teamplayer and a valuable addition to any production.
