I have recently been named as one of Broadcast Magazine's 2024 Hotshots - nominated by Talesmith, and commended for "going above and beyond expectations to deliver for the series", and location directed and delivered one of Nat Geo's best performing social media footage ever: cliff jumping emperor penguin chicks. 

An experienced natural history producer, I have over 10 years’ experience in specialist factual documentaries with an academic background in zoology and science communication, as well as experience across geology, engineering and history.

I enjoy all aspects of building a film – identifying locations, species and behaviours, working with VFX to produce storyboards for CGI and animation sequences, both stand alone and in-scene – and in particular I’m passionate about building a full and engaging story, while teasing out an emotive narrative.

I am experienced setting up and leading complex shoots in challenging parts of the world - from leading a team to South Georgia by sail, working with gimbal systems across desert and swamps in Botswana, to spearheading polar field and dive camps. 

I’m confident in directing multi-camera teams to produce visually stunning and stand out sequences, using imaginative techniques and working with a variety of camera systems - as well as identifying emerging stories on the fly.

My key skills lie in meticulous organisation, planning, and attention to detail both during pre-production and on the ground, and a creative and collaborative approach to storytelling and filmmaking.
