Read MoreI am an enthusiastic team player who is passionate about T.V. I have a love forcreative storytelling that informs, surprises,engages and connects people. I have experience in T.V. from the rad Scheme working in BBC Studio’s Science Unit in Development and Research and following that, Specialist Factual Development at BBC Studios. I am a mindful, driven andconscientious worker who is eager to bepart of a dynamic team that values curiosity, integrity and ambition. I am eager to learn and take on a new challenge.
I worked on The Secret Genius of Modern Life with Professor Hannah Fry which gave me the chance to investigate the science and history of everyday objects. I thrived in this role, researching contributors, planning shoots, being on location, fact-checking and archive logging. Following this I went on to work on the international version of Human, where we replaced the presenter, Ella Al- Shamahi, with talking head interviews with academics. This was an extremely fast paced work environment involving in depth research into Hominin evolution, casting experts, writing episode synopses and developing interview questions. I also spent time in the Science Units Development team working on Just one Thing. During this time, I work closely with the Executive team re-working ideas from the JOT podcast and coming up with different episodes that could attract new audiences. I researched, planned the locations, the links to each episode and then pitched them to the Executive team. This is when I realised how much I loved Development. I was able to think both editorially and pragmatically, skills I had developed over my traineeship.
Following this I worked as a Development Researcher with BBCS Specialist Factual Unit, assisting the Head of Development in developing exciting ideas. I have gained editorial insticts and story finding skills. I wrote formats for commissioners as well as managed development forward planning databases. I have an understanding of domestic and international TV markets and have had a wealth of training in AI, writing, budgeting and editing.
