I'm a dynamic and confident self shooter with network television credits. I'm an aspiring producer/director and have plenty of experience leading complex shoots, directing freelance crews on location in the UK and abroad and delivering content from the edit. I'm passionate about producing compelling factual entertainment programming and have experience of working with everyone from child actors and expert contributors to experienced on-screen talent. ​I love developing new ideas, being creative and ambitious in everything I produce and making visually arresting television.
