I am a podcast and documentary producer with over a decade at the BBC, delivering end-to-end audio production across Radio 3, Radio 4 and the World Service. My credits include What a Shocker! The Sensational Life of Leigh Bowery, which launched the Radio 4 Artworks strand, and Vivienne: The Life and Times of Vivienne Westwood, alongside multiple In the Studio episodes recognised as Pick of the Week by the Sunday Times and Radio Times. I combine strong editorial judgement with hands-on technical expertise in recording, editing and sound design, and am experienced in coordinating high-profile talent, managing complex production schedules, and delivering consistently polished audio to deadline. Whether it’s producing broadcasters such as Kirsty Wark and Nick Grimshaw, or managing guests including Dame Tracy Emin or Margaret Atwood, I present a professional profile and am confident about putting guests at ease. I’m technically confident with tools such as Reaper, Descript and Riverside and juggle multiple projects with confidence. I have an excellent network of contacts who really value my skills and experience and am a committed team player. I’m as confident delivering multiple episodes of a podcast addressing the crisis in children’s reading as I am in executive producing Lifestyle and Wellness podcasts. I teach podcasting at the London College of Fashion and mentor third year students at the University of Arts, London. Highly organised and detail-driven, I am confident working across multiple projects in fast-paced environments, ensuring smooth workflows from pre-production through to final delivery. I can write a brief about British Sign Language as confidently script a podcast about innovative design in the NHS and consider accurate research and top trouble shooting skills to be one of the crucial parts of audio work. I bring an open mind, creative ideas and an in-depth understanding for the audio industry.
