I’m a Senior PD & Edit Producer who’s passionate about telling powerful, emotionally honest stories always with compassion, curiosity and, when it fits, a dose of playfulness. I love developing and shaping first series and pilots, finding the heart of a show, defining its tone, and creating those “talked-about” moments that stick.

Since 2022, my highlights include working as Senior PD on The Nevermets (6x60 for Channel 4), overseeing the stories of eight couples meeting in person for the first time after falling in love online. One of my films — following Leah from Scotland and Chad from North Dakota - featured on Celeb Gogglebox for two consecutive weeks. I directed for over a year on multiple episodes of Code Blue including the case of Logan Mwangi (ITV, Multistory Media), documenting the extraordinary efforts of South Wales Police to uncover the truth behind a tragic and deeply moving case. The film went on to win Outstanding Documentary at the 2023 True Crime Awards and received a BAFTA Cymru nomination — recognition that meant a great deal given the sensitivity of the story. 

Across lighter formats, I've worked across 3 x BBC Countryfile contracts where I love injecting heart, energy and creativity into the VTs and bringing out the best in both new and established presenters. 

I relish a challenge, whether that’s diving into the world of Meet the Rees-Moggs (Discovery) or exploring intimacy in Open House: The Great British Sex Experiment (C4). Both demanded a director that is bold, sensitive and assertive all at once - the kind of balance I thrive on.

I’m known for building genuine relationships with contributors from all walks of life and gaining access to places that are often closed to cameras from police forces and hospitals to staff in operating theatres. I shoot with visual flair on most cameras (FX6, FX3, FX9) and have solid Avid skills, often rough-cutting my own interviews before working with editors to shape the final story. I have a background in commercials, working with brands like Bacardi, Vodafone and Cancer Research, which gave me a sharp eye for creative visuals and production value. I’m Co-Founder of the Female Skillshare Collective, empowering women in TV to share their skills and experience, and I’m proud to serve as a BAFTA Cymru 2024 judge.
