Read More• Having started my television career on the prestigious BBC Production Trainee scheme, I’m a BAFTA nominated and Broadcast Award winner, who is hugely experienced in programming from across the factual spectrum: from fixed rig to single camera; constructed factual to observational documentaries; one-offs to series.
• I love the challenge and responsibilities of the SP role and am equally comfortable setting up a brand new project (MisFITS Like Us), taking on an established, blue-chip series (Ambulance) or relaunching a channel’s existing brand (Junior Doctors).
• I’ve seen my programmes right through all stages of production, from the initial planning through to delivery: I have managed series on tight schedules and budgets, overseen large teams on location and ran complex, multiple edits.
• Selected for the first Creative Skillset Series Producer Training Programme in 2016.
• On the BBC New Talent List 2017 – on-and-off screen talent earmarked as “broadcasting stars of the future.”
• My greatest asset is that I am fantastic with people and I feel I can get the best out of any team, no matter what the size…I am confident I can get the best out of anyone both on-or-off screen.
