Employment History
I got my first taste of research at Mentorn Media, working within the dynamic development team (July 2006, unpaid internship). I developed and researched ideas, wrote proposal drafts, chose images and designed the overall visual style of treatments. With pitches for Nat Geo and Discovery, I was able to provide advice to the team on communicating difficult concepts to a scientifically-interested but not necessarily scientifically-literate

I went on to work with award-winning producer and writer Nick Rosen, spending 6 months working alongside him at Vivum Intelligent Media (Nov 2006 - June 2007) as a Development Researcher/ Assistant. I researched ideas on current affairs subjects which included: preparing for the smoking ban, impact of golf courses on the environment and carbon monoxide safety in the home. For Nick's book "How to Live Off Grid" (Doubleday, 04/2007), I drew together information from newspaper archives, interviews and internet resources to provide corroborating evidence for key arguments in the book, which focuses on people living without mains water or power, the problems they face and the ingenious solutions they find.
Since then, I have worked with many major UK production companies on a wide variety of content. I've produced programmes for major broadcasters including the BBC, Channel 4, Channel 5, National Geographic and Discovery. Please see the Credits section for more details.
