About me
Starting my television career at the BBC, I quickly rose from researcher to script editor, before being offered the chance to produce. In 2008, a unique opportunity to spend three months in Kenya presented itself. Over the next six years, my role expanded until I was running the production company on a day to day basis responsible for all aspects including: scripting and format development; commercial and broadcast agreements; talent management and development (including an ethical internship programme); cross-media campaigning and financial management across a variety of genres. By the time I left, the company had expanded from one country to four and was in the process of being acquired by a multinational broadcaster. Having decided to return to Europe, I’ve been keen to expand upon my existing experience and to develop my skills further, focusing on my primary passion, television drama, including more sophisticated filming including stunts and special effects.Referees:
