Covered the Arab Spring and the News of the World phone hacking scandal, producing three half-hour specials of news analysis show 'The Listening Post'.

Started working in online video when the medium was in its infancy. I navigated its wild waters to produce and direct over 250 short films, generating over ten million plays (which was a lot at the time!), managing researchers and editors to deliver on time and budget. The experience was foundational for my later work in multiplatform production, with key lessons learned around SEO for both commissioning and publishing, economies of scale and effective narrative structure for digital distribution.

I cut my teeth on current affairs and factual production working as a trainee researcher across Grace's slate of programmes. I helped develop and shoot documentaries around health, international justice and consumer subjects with a particular focus on autism. This included filming an exclusive with the controversial doctor Andrew Wakefield, who famously connected the MMR vaccine with the onset of autism - claims for which he was later discredited.I also filmed and edited short documentaries including an RTS-nominated piece about Eagle House school for autistic children.
