I love working in production but I'm also intrigued by editorial and how stories are researched, created and put together. I have a background in scriptwriting so have a good understanding of the structure and beats a sequence should be comprised of and actively enjoy being engaged in the editorial vision, which I believe helps the production team reach their goal of delivering that vision in time and on budget! My interests in TV are Natural History, wildlife, sustainable travel, Factual Entertainment and being on location.
