I'm an experienced Series Director, Self-Shooting Producer/Director, Development Producer and Edit Producer with over 15 years working across documentary, current affairs and specialist factual content. More recently I've also started working in comedy, travel and branded content.

I enjoy working across a wide range of subjects and environments, from filming with high-profile institutions and presenters to crafting emotional personal testimony, exploring new technology or planning remote expeditions. I love discovering and shaping surprising stories with unusual characters that take the audience inside hard-to-see places. Uncovering new worlds and bringing complex subjects to a mainstream audience is one of the real joys of the job and my output over the last few years has seen me investigating everything from international politics and cutting-edge medicine to comedy, travel, ancient history, technology and true crime.

Recent credits span primetime for UK broadcasters including The Zelensky Story, Hospital and Inside the Foreign Office, streaming channels with Ancient China from Above, Unearthed and World's Most Dangerous Roads, and branded content for organisations like Hotel Chocolat, Ineos and Disasters Emergency Committee.
