Curious, driven, and creatively grounded, I've spent 2 years in development and research before pursuing 5 years in Script Supervision. I've worked across broadcast production, documentary development, and high-end factual content.
I’ve worked at the early stages of multiple documentary projects, focusing on in-depth research, outreach, pitch deck and broadcast treatment writing, and tone-setting.
My background in film, factual and factual offer me a unique blend of editorial instinct and practical grit; especially when it comes to contributor sensitivity, story spotting, and team support.
I’m particularly drawn to stories rooted in justice, ethics, subcultures, identity, and science. I love working in spaces where research and intuition meet.
Currently seeking junior roles in Development and Research, with a long-term view toward producing meaningful and intelligent unscripted work.� Please view my LinkedIn for more detail on experience and credits:
