Description

Script editor who has worked for +15 years in TV drama. I've script edited global hit Stay Close for Netflix and Virdee for BBC.

My thriller background is complemented by my wide ranging experience on drama such as BAFTA-nominated It’s a Sin, Sky fantasy series Sinbad, children’s drama and 100 hours of continuing TV drama.

Experienced in story development, storylining and restructuring, I pride myself on combining strong story instincts with pragmatic problem-solving.

I relish working with production colleagues and with writers, from top tier writers, such as Russell T Davies, to supporting new writers working on their first TV drama.

I've worked inhouse on scripted development, talent scouting writers and assessing submissions so bring those skills to my production roles. I started off my career as a researcher in soap, so possess strong research skills.
