Hello! I am a TV freelancer, ready to play a part in your next production.

I was lucky enough to grow up in an era of fantastic telly. As a wide-eyed youngster I watched the dawn of digital transmission, the rise and rise of the indie production company, and the emergence of reality TV. A few years later, I first stepped into a television studio as a 14-year-old contestant on Countdown.

What I gained from this experience – other than a teapot and a variety of schoolyard nicknames – was the realisation that this was what I wanted to do, day in and day out. Today, I’ve worked on over 500 hours of broadcast television, most of it live, aired on the BBC, Sky and ESPN. Plus, in 2011 I won Sky's annual graduate training scheme by showing creativity, enthusiasm, and a broad knowledge of tapeless production.

On this site you can view my CV and credits, learn about me from my blog, and find out how to get in touch. Quite simply, I love telly, and I’d love to be involved with your next production.

    Confident self-shooting, taking direction, and working to talkback. I’ve shot corporate events, household name product launches, and awards ceremonies. I'm also comfortable recording and mixing sound.
