Personal Statment I’m an experienced and dedicated Series Producer with a reputation for delivering high-quality documentaries and factual entertainment for major UK broadcasters.

Channel commissioners and executives I’ve worked with over my eight years as an SP trust me to stay composed under pressure and deliver on both ambition and detail.
