Crew Listing


Description

Based in Bristol, I’ve trained up as a Production Apprentice with BBC Studios over 18 months, working as a Runner and Junior Researcher on Go Wild, Deadly 60, and original social content for unscripted BBC NDA projects with A-list talent.

I bring on-set experience across studio and location shoots, with skills in assisting sound recordists and camera operators, as well as directing and interviewing contributors. I’m confident in brainstorming and developing creative ideas, with concepts successfully green-lit by commissioners.

My experience spans research, writing treatments, archive sourcing & licensing, talent relations, production planning, and setting up UK and international shoots. I also hold a full UK driving licence, enabling me to travel and support productions wherever needed.


Special Interests

My work is driven by a passion for genre blending, documentary storytelling, and slice-of-life narratives that offer authentic insights into people’s lives. I’m equally drawn to natural history, combining factual accuracy with creative flair to engage diverse audiences.

I have an interest in children's TV, and have worked at the scripting stage of productions to ensure factual natural history content is made accessible and engaging to children aged 10 and under.
