I am an award winning, experienced and multi skilled Self-Shooting PD with over 20 years experience working at the BBC, Sky and in the Independent sector.

My background is in making short form documentaries and contributing to flagship programmes in Current Affairs, News and Children’s programming. 

My film making is fair, accurate and pays attention to detail. I’m fast thinking and can adapt as a story evolves. Whilst I regularly work as a one-woman filmmaker I am just as at home working in a team. I have the ability to draw the best out of contributors and put people from all walks of life at ease. 

My self shooting skills include operating a variety of different cameras, lighting and sound equipment whilst producing and directing. I am also a confident editor. These skills combined mean that I always have an eye on the bigger picture and how the many elements of a film will come together as a whole.
