Journalistic background with broadcast experience as a Researcher and Location Assistant. Academically inclined, I excel in office settings, with extensive experience in finding stories, locations, and contributors in the UK and abroad, planning episodes, sourcing archive, and fact-checking. A First-Class History graduate from Durham University, I am particularly interested in the travel, history, and political genres. My boundless energy and sharp visual sense compel me toward shooting and location-based work: 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 for broadcast TV and for Metro UK's website where I am a weekend Video Producer. Visual storytelling is a great strength of mine. Previously I have also taken photographs for the Press Association. A collaborative team player with versatility and resourcefulness, I am a valuable addition to any production.
