About

I’m a freelance journalist, camera operator and producer with a strong track record in documentary filmmaking, news production, and social media content creation. My work spans roles at BBC East Midlands, Times Radio, Planet Critical, and independent projects, where I focus on storytelling, interviews, and hands-on production from field shoots to post. I enjoy collaborating in fast-paced teams and bringing thoughtful visuals to complex topics.

Outside of journalism, I love watching National Theatre productions, learning new languages, and I’m currently teaching myself free-diving underwater. These pursuits fuel my curiosity and help me bring fresh perspectives to every project I undertake.
