I can help you reach the outcomes you are seeking in any forum from a discussion in front of an audience in a packed hall to a closed round table meeting. Drawing on my years of experience as a reporter/presenter in live radio and television (UK), as a television producer and executive producer (Australia) and as the director of an international conference celebrated for its editorial excellence, I take pride in curating conference programs, seminars ,workshops and round table meetings that inspire and satisfy participants and audiences because they are well researched, well produced and tightly moderated. I spent two decades as Editorial Director of the World Congress of Science and Factual Producers (WCSFP) Under my direction our event acquired the reputation of being the must attend annual event for broadcast and production executives working primarily in the science, history and high end factual genres: the major international terrestrial and cable broadcasters, commissioners and creatives working on streaming platforms, plus the top independent producers from all over the world. WCSFP tracks the trends and engages in provocative and engrossing debate around issues affecting these genres.Previously I played a leading role in producing and commissioning science TV programs in Australia, including seven years as Series Producer and then Executive Producer ABC TV Science Unit. I helped develop National Science Week in Australia and I am a founder member and past president of the Australian Science Communicators. My writing credits include a weekly health column for the women’s magazine That’s Life! which I wrote for four years and several TV series and documentary scripts. I have also co-authored two books: Eight steps to happiness - the science of getting happy and how it can work for you”, based on the 2010 ABC TV series Making Australia Happy and Making Couples Happy based on the 2012 TV Series of the same name. Before coming to Australia I was a TV and radio reporter/presenter in the UK, starting my broadcasting career as a producer on BBC Radio Manchester producing and presenting for Westward Television and Anglia Television and ultimately reporting and presenting on Today, the UK’s flagship morning current affairs program on BBC Radio 4. I offer a variety of services: producing and executive producing, content origination, research, writing and script editing as well as curating and moderating conference programs, seminars, workshops and round table meetings.
