12+ years shaping specialist factual series through experiential, contributor-led, and presenter-led work in science, history, and culture. Specialised in immersive, curiosity-driven storytelling rooted in real-time discovery and unfolding understanding. Skilled at structuring episodic, series, and long-form narratives, building trust with contributors, and shaping factual stories with clarity, wit, and editorial rigour.

Experience spans half-hour programmes and hour-long specials, from explainer-led stories to experiential, on-the-ground documentary. Background includes directing and producing for broadcast and streaming, shaping story in the edit, and collaborating with academics, experts, and presenters to distill complex subjects into engaging, accessible storytelling.

Credits include BBC Studios (Science Unit), Passion Pictures, The Guardian, PBS North Carolina, Matador Network, and other leading factual teams.

A US citizen now based in London, I have delivered factual content for both UK and US broadcasters, including PBS, Passion Pictures, BBC Studios, and Nat Geo/Disney+. I bring a strong understanding of American broadcast sensibilities and what resonates with US audiences.
