For the last 15 years now, I have developed a rewarding international career in journalism, becoming a respected, and award-winning producer, director and reporter. I have worked across various media platforms, including live broadcast TV, and boast a strong showreel of films and documentaries.
Throughout my career, I have directed, presented and produced various observational and character-led documentaries highlighting human sensitive issues, such as child trafficking, refugee integration and politics, both on and off location.
I am well versed in writing scripts/storyboards and in-house packages, shooting FS7 and editing. I have worked with restrictive budgets to tight timeframes and I strive to deliver the highest possible production
values, building long-lasting relations with industry networks.
A particular USP is my deep knowledge, experience and access in Russia where I have spent over a decade. I have a strong network of news bureaus, fixers and organisations nationwide and speak excellent Russian. Read Less
