As a talented Researcher and AP specialising in Development, I have built a breadth of experience in finding stories, and using effective communication skills to engage with contributors. I have used my creative writing skills to develop ideas and write fantastic Treatments.
I make stunning decks and have implemented innovative and creative ideas through brainstorming. I've seen through the attainment and completion of commissions through thorough research and fact-checking and I make detailed briefs to report back to Producers. 

I started my TV career as a Junior Researcher at Wildflame in 2020. I was quickly promoted to a Development Researcher, working across Wildflame's slate of Unscripted national and international factual productions, which has led to my current credits such as Amy Dowden's Dare to Dance (BBC ONE Wales), Michael Ball’s Wonderful Wales (Channel 5) , Efaciwîs / Evacuees (S4C), and Drych: Lloches (S4C). With Wildflame's development team I have created programmes such as Frogmore House: Royal Retreat (Channel 5), Brink of Disaster (Discovery), and Wales, Who do we think we are with Huw Edwards (BBC Wales).

I've worked across many insert films for The One Show, with Wildflame Productions I sourced the stories, conducted the research and was able to support the Producer to create heart-warming, informative films for BBC audiences. And with Off The Fence I assisted in writing their Series 18 book of One Show items.

Now I am working on Fake Or Fortune? Series 12, developing episode 3 and 4. 

I can self-shoot, with beginner experience using an FS7 and I can data wrangle. I also have experience with archive.

I am an Emerging Screenwriter and Novelist, currently unrepresented and self-published, looking for a literary agent. Also currently looking to develop into Script Reading and Reporting, and eventually Script Editing roles.

Open to Relocation, Hybrid and Remote Working.
