About me
Throughout my career I have enjoyed focussing on the business side of the entertainment industry. Playing an active role in procuring and nurturing new business while maximising profit is something I find very rewarding. I also enjoy the creative aspects of this industry and am fortunate to have had the opportunity to develop treatments, write scripts, and inspire and encourage teams to take greater creative risks. Strong and clear narratives with high production values captivate audiences, and understanding how to do this effectively within an assigned budget is a challenge I like to rise to. I believe I am particularly adept at using my production, business and IT skills to capitalise on the maximum commercial potential for any given project whilst ensuring the company’s long term aims and objectives are achieved.
Projects
  • Facebook: Beyond the Screen
    Facebook: Beyond the ScreenAt TCO London I was the executive producer on ‘Beyond the Screen’ Facebook’s first ever cinema feature film.

  • Pandora - Life Moments
    Pandora - Life MomentsWe asked four women to come and tell us about a remarkable moment from their lives – their wedding day, university graduation, a milestone birthday – and who they shared it with. As a unique thank you, we then brought their loved ones along for a surprise celebration of their enduring relationships. Originally these were meant to be online films only, but the series of films received such a positive response that we turned them into a TVC. I was the Executive Producer across this project.

    London, United KingdomFreelance
    From November 2018 I went back to freelancing, and I have been working for a range of different companies. For most of 2019 I have been working with the Edge Picture Company. I was leading the HSBC Global Mandatory Training (GMT) for the Edge. I was particularly interested in this job as it had well over 100 stakeholders feeding into different aspects of the training; which helped me strengthen my client management skills. A feature documentary I worked on, with Dover Street Entertainment, got premiered at Venice Film Festival 2019, so that was a particular highlight for me this year. I’m also in the middle of delivering several projects, but the most interesting one in my opinion, is the female-led sci-fi feature film called Beyond Existence.
