I am a multi-award-winning Series Producer and Director with a proven track record for crafting powerful, visually striking films that connect deeply with audiences. My work spans an extensive range of programming - from hard-hitting true crime and character-driven documentaries to innovative prime-time factual television.

Renowned for identifying strong narratives and translating them into cinematic, emotionally resonant stories, I lead productions from concept to delivery with clarity, creativity, and precision.

I’m skilled at managing large teams and budgets, navigating sensitive access, and ensuring the highest editorial and welfare standards both on and off camera. My cinematography has been recognised at the Broadcast Tech Awards, have been part of the RTS Yorkshire board and I currently mentor emerging talent through the Filmmaker 25 programme. I’m also part of the ScreenSkills Series Producer course, refining my leadership across large-scale productions.

My latest documentary, The Hunt for Shannon Matthews, became the first true crime film to reach number one on Amazon Prime, and I am currently directing my second film for the streamer at Firecrest Films.

I’m passionate about telling human stories with beauty, authenticity, and purpose.
