I have many years archive experience working across a wide variety of genres/projects. I've mainly worked on documentaries however, I also have experience on weekly television shows, feature films and awards ceremonies. Subjects I've covered inlcude history, art, science, natural history, politics, entertainment, music, current affairs, sports and royalty. I have a solid understanding in all areas of production and I'm happy to work with a team, or to take on projects fully myself (from an office or remotely).
