I am a documentary shooting Producer / Director with a passion for observational and character led films. Having started out working for the Berlin Film Festival and in fiction films, I made the move across to documentary. I love making films that come from a position of genuine inquisitiveness, free from judgement and developed with kindness and journalistic rigour.

 

Day to day I work as a producer on documentaries and current affairs programmes for BBC, Channel 4, ITV, PBS and National Geographic. 

Outside of TV, I have directed a number of independent documentaries. My short films have screened at Underwire, Manchester Film Festival and Soho Film Festival, and appeared on the Huffington Post.  

In 2019 I received a John Brabourne Award for emerging talent in film and the same year - together with my co-director - won the Edinburgh Film Festival's Works in Progress Award for our feature documentary Women Behind the Wheel. In August 2022 the documentary premiered at Edinburgh International Film Festival, with two sold out screenings. It went on to be released theatrically around the UK, as well as showing at major international human rights film festivals in Europe. 

I was selected as part of the 2023 BIFA Springboard cohort, a development scheme for first time feature filmmakers, and I was recently made a BAFTA Connect member. 

I speak English and German.
