I am a documentary Producer with experience in all areas of production. I understand that for a company to thrive everyone has to be willing to do whatever they can to support the team. I have been working in factual features for the last ten years. My responsibilities have included;
CREWING & CASTING, which requires me to build relationships with crew and on-screen talent. SCHEDULING & BUDGETING, which requires analytical thinking about a project's future needs as well as keen problem solving when things inevitably don’t go to plan. STORY DEVELOPMENT & EDIT PRODUCING, which requires strong understanding of narrative and ability to communicate this to the wider team. PRODUCING, which requires all of the above skills to come together within the context of a shoot. DELIVERY, which requires contract negotiation and understanding of final technical stages of filmmaking, including legal compliance.

I graduated top of my class from The University of Manchester, with 1st Class Honours in Drama and Screen Studies. Whilst at University my passion was always for film, although I was involved with productions both on screen and stage. A few of my short films even found success at festivals (Insight Film Festival 2008, University of Melbourne’s Short Film Festival 2009). Around the time of my graduation I found employment as an AD in professional theatre and from this I was able to find my way into broadcast and print media. This diverse education enables me to handle the many changing challenges a production company is likely to face.
