I am a versatile Producer / Researcher who’s been working in TV for over 12 years, both as an on-screen journalist and producing on two nightly news comedy shows.Idea Generation: as a producer on two nightly satire shows, I pitched ideas for skits related to news or trending issues on a daily basis. The ability to come up with fresh, original ideas is a skill I honed as a journalist, fulfilling daily requirements of finding original stories and new angles on ongoing stories.Casting: Highly experienced in casting for both factual and non-factual content. This includes securing talent and pre-interviewing.Access: Adept at gaining access to people / organisations that are notoriously media-shy. This includes an exclusive with a train driver who defied government orders by speaking out against a controversial timetable, and the first-ever TV interview with a man whose son was killed in a notorious murder.Writing: a skilled and succinct writer, I get to the heart of a story quickly, allowing the characters to speak for themselves.Researching: a thorough researcher, I am very experienced at sourcing information and cross-examining information.Interviewing: a meticulous interviewer, I build rapport quickly and have the empathy needed for sensitive interviews.Producing: I have managed junior producers in small teams, commissioning factual stories, guiding the narrative and subbing scripts. I have also produced fictional videos for news comedy shows, pitching and writing sketches, casting actors, scouting locations and organising shoots. Read Less
