Personal info
I am an accomplished and creative Producer/Director with more than 15 years of editorial experience working on specialist factual, biographical and feature documentaries. I have a great eye for a good story and a passion for ensuring the films I produce are engaging, entertaining and remain faithful to the truth. I am highly adaptable with a wide array of experience. During and immediately after the pandemic I utilised my past skills as a Post Producer/Production Manager on projects that needed editorial and logistical help getting from offline to delivery.
