I’m a Manchester-based Production Coordinator and Producer with 9+ years of end-to-end experience across TV, film, and digital content in Nigeria and the UK. I lead projects from development through post-production—managing master schedules, budgets and cost tracking, resource allocation, risk assessments, and cross-functional teams to keep productions moving smoothly and safely. I also bring strong writing and editorial coordination experience, shaping story and episode structure, developing presenter dialogue, and supporting creative strategy across scripted series and comedy/adaptation work. Recently completing an MA in Film & Television at Falmouth University, I continue producing UK narrative and documentary projects while combining practical production operations with a collaborative, data-driven approach.
