Read MoreExperienced in Fact Ent and Natural History, I have a strong track record of working on high-profile content for reputable broadcasters and streaming platforms. I possess excellent organisational, scheduling and logistical skills along with the ability to manage budgets efficiently. Confident and experienced in sending teams and talent to challenging international locations.
Adaptable and quick-thinking, I excel in fostering strong relationships with department heads and collaborating with teams to resolve conflicts while maintaining a positive attitude and keeping projects on track. Most recently I held the role of Junior Production Manager at BBC Studios Natural History Unit, overseeing the recent series of Deadly 60 with Steve Backshall for CBBC. I also worked on an upcoming environmental series for both UK and international audiences plus the award-winning vfx series Prehistoric Planet III (Planet Ice) for Apple TV - airing this November.
Previous positions include Production Manager at Wildstar Films, where I helped steer multiple blue-chip landmark co-productions for high-profile clients such as National Geographic and Disney+. I have also managed productions for other notable producers such as Aardman, ITV, Channel 4 and Netflix.
