I have lots of experience recruiting and running large casting teams as a casting exec but equally happy working solo on smaller projects. I gained my first SVOD credit on an Amazon show in 2022 and finally got into an edit, which I loved. Moving forward I'm looking for opportunities that will allow me to build on this edit experience.
Most of my experience is with BBC and Channel 4 projects but have also worked on shows for Sky Arts, Channel 5, Discovery and TLC. I've also diversified into advertising projects for brands as diverse as Barclays to Bodyform, Mcdonalds to Thomas The Tank Engine. I self-shoot and have produced and edited lots of casting, taster and sizzle tapes.
I lived in New York City for two years. While there I wrote, and worked across radio and TV and wrote; working for Endemol, The NY Metro and for UK media companies.
Before television, I worked in commercial radio as a reporter and newsreader for 5 years interviewing pop stars, politicians and people caught up in the news headlines. I then moved to the BBC as a radio producer and then a TV researcher. Recently I have returned to my radio journalist roots to produce a podcast on period equality.
If you're looking to hire a grown up, that would be me (apparently).
