I have more than 20 years’ experience working as a producer, freelance and employed, for large and small media organisations, on high profile and challenging projects across screen, audio, theatre, digital and interactive.
I also self-start my own projects.
I am BAFTA and Royal Television Society Award nominated as a producer. I have won a Stage One Bursary, for the re-development of my show, Chip Shop: The Musical. I have produced, or supervised, content that won a Broadcast Digital Award and an IVCA Clarion Gold Award.
I develop, scope, budget and pitch ideas from scratch, as well as work across pre-production, production, post-production, delivery and evaluation as a one-person operation, or by leading a large production team.
I am a skilled team leader and line manager, innovating in my leadership style, as well as through content and form.
