Award-winning producer and journalist with a decade of broadcast experience, specialising in factual storytelling. Having worked on a wide-range of content for TV and digital platforms, including a BAFTA-nominated programme, and an RTS award-winning primetime interview for BBC1, I bring creative ideas, rigorous research, and strong editorial judgement.

Strengths and expertise include:
• Working on sensitive stories with empathy and a strong awareness of Duty of Care
• Building and maintaining relationships with sensitive and vulnerable contributors
• Producing high-profile figures and leading experts
• Managing complex legal issues and and a comprehensive understanding of compliance
