Bio

I'm a fast, story driven editor with strong writing
skills and a great ear for music. I was the
co-winner of the 2025 Jackson Wild writing award
and my episode of ‘A Real Bug’s Life’ has been
nominated for 6 Emmys including editing, writing
and music. The same episode also won two
awards at the 2025 Panda’s

I specialise in high-end documentary
programming but also write and direct children’s
comedies, so bring a fresh a perspective to the
documentary genre. I have over 80 credits for
Apple TV, Disney, NatGeo, BBC, ITV, C4, Sky,
Discovery, France TV, and Blue Ant.
