Series/Senior Producer and Producer/Director with over 12 years’ experience creating ambitious, character-led documentaries and premium factual television across documentary, factual entertainment and natural history. Combining strong editorial instincts with a talent for finding compelling characters and stories, I specialise in developing narratives and shaping them as they unfold in some of the world’s most challenging and remote environments (jungles, deserts, mountains, polar, ocean). From working with A-list talent and leading adventurers to building trusted relationships with remote and Indigenous communities, I bring creative vision, editorial leadership and extensive expedition expertise to every production. Equally comfortable directing small, agile crews in rarely filmed locations or leading teams of 50+ through complex international shoots, I bridge the gap between ambitious storytelling and making the seemingly impossible happen. A Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and Scientific Exploration Society Explorer, I am also the founder of Stories We Tell Ltd, a filmmaking mentorship initiative supporting remote and underrepresented communities to become authors of their own stories.
