I am an Assistant Producer, I came to TV as a second career having come from a drama background and re-trained at NFTS in Factual Development and Production, after winning a scholarship from the Discovery Channel. I bring strong interpersonal skills and a willingness to learn and develop new skills in all my roles. In December 2021 I was selected by Channel 4 to undertake a 2 week female documentary course at NFTS where I learnt the basics of camera and editing to make my own short films.

The last contract I worked on was a Key to a Fortune a new Channel 4 features commission for Crackit productions, prior to that I undertook my first Assistant Producer role working on a new Factual Entertainment series for C4, Make Me Prime Minister. Other credits include Great British Railway Journeys, The World's Most Secret Hotels, a series of 3 high profile documentaries for BBC Events, development for the Yesterday Channel for UKTV, and Combat Ships 3 specialist factual history series for Smithsonian. Over the last 2 years I consistently delivered stories on time working both remotely and under challenging covid restrictions, casting interesting contributors, setting up shoots in the UK, as well as working with a range of talent.

I work well independently as well as part of a team. I always bring a diverse cast and range of stories to any production I work on as well as regionality as I want to reflect the cultural diversity of the UK on screen to the best of my ability. I am currently available and looking for my next project. Read Less
