A Broadcast Hot Shot winner for 2022/23, I am a highly experienced Development Producer specialising in true crime, factual, documentaries and factual entertainment.

Proactive, diligent and trusted to get the job done, I combine strong editorial instincts with a journalistic approach, an extensive contacts book and a sharp understanding of what broadcasters and audiences want.

I specialise in securing difficult and sensitive access, with a successful track record across the UK and US. This ranges from major organisations, businesses and police forces to investigators, journalists, campaigners, government officials and victims of serious crime. I leave no stone unturned when pursuing a story, and manage relationships carefully from the first conversation through development, commissioning and into production.

Through this work, I have built a vast network of trusted contacts who rely on me to represent their stories and access responsibly to broadcasters. I am skilled at shaping the tone, format and editorial angle of a project, balancing the needs of contributors, production companies and commissioners while identifying what will make an idea distinctive, timely and compelling.

Although particularly known for access-led development, I also have a wealth of experience in factual entertainment. I have created returning series, developed original formats and generated ideas across a wide range of broadcaster briefs.

I am constantly on the pulse of the zeitgeist, spotting emerging stories, talent and cultural conversations before they become widely established. I am a confident commissioner-facing pitcher and relationship builder, as well as a strong writer, deck designer and sizzle tape editor.

I'm used to working across both small and large teams, collaborating closely with Creative Directors and Managing Directors to shape projects, respond quickly to feedback and get ideas out the door. Equally, I work extremely well autonomously and can confidently take ownership of a project from the initial idea through to a fully formed pitch.

I am a resourceful worker, highly organised, calm under pressure and comfortable juggling multiple projects and priorities. Very experienced using Adobe, AI tools, Mac software and Microsoft programmes to carry out work. Read Less
