Live broadcasting is in my veins and I've been doing it for nearly 20 years. I direct and produce TV shows, live events, podcasts and radio programmes that reach millions of people around the world. I'm known for being calm under pressure. I adore working in studios with multiple cameras and large crews but you'll also find me travelling the world directing single-camera documentaries on location. I love making shows to entertain and inform audiences. I specialise in science, technology, climate change and in resources for those learning English as a second language. My clients include BBC World News, BBC Studios, BBC Culture, BBC Learning English, BBC World Service, BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 1, Pearson Education, Private Eye Magazine, Save The Children, Press Association, Water Aid and the Open University.
