From slicing brains to making films, I have followed a non-linear trajectory into the world of TV and filmmaking. Many claim I was born in the wrong century and they may be right, although I do enjoy some of the technological advancements of this one.
I picked up the camera 15 years ago, almost by accident, when I was working as a science communicator and recovering from an intense few years as a lab scientist. I haven't been able to put it down since and my work, through TV and independent filmmaking, has taken me all around the world. From filming African baboons, to covering illegal fishing in Liberia, to investigating bird poaching in Italy and Cyprus, I have worked with more charities and broadcasters than I can remember.
One thing has never changed - my drive to tell humbly and candidly the stories of the people and places I encounter, to make a difference by amplifying the work of others, and to uncover important social and environmental investigations in the pursuit of justice.
After 18 gruelling months, in 2026 I finally qualified as an NCTJ Multimedia Journalist with Gold Standard.
