I am an experienced radio professional with a passion for producing high-quality audio content.Big Tent Media is an audio post production company supporting publishers, businesses and community groups to create audio content. I currently work alongside the New Statesman and Press Gazette editing podcasts to complement their physical and digital publications, as well as supporting several independent shows.My work can currently (Summer 2024) be heard in Grosvenor Square, London as part of a storytelling exhibition commissioned by New West End and supplied by Heard Storytelling for London Pride.The podcasts I work on cover a range of topics including health and wellbeing, diversity, futurism and creative coaching. Evidence of my scripting, sound design and journalistic approach to editing can be heard on We Did It Medway; a local history podcast created for The City of Rochester Society. During the pandemic I took on the role of Audio Creative at Vixen Labs. During that time I worked closely with Fortune and FTSE 500 brands identifying voice concepts and audio needs - Amazon, Sony Music Entertainment, Universal, McDonalds and Pfizer amongst others.
