I am a multimedia journalist and filmmaker with more than 15 years experience in news, from the BBC in the Channel Islands to South Africa and now the UK. I have a passion for video features and have produced an array of profile and investigative pieces. With a background in broadcasting I am experienced in script-writing and voice-over work and well-versed in handling stories from conceptual stages right through to publishing (including social media dissemination). My passion lies with human interest pieces and environmental journalism. Clients include Hakai Magazine, UNICEF, Mongabay, Bloomberg, TRT World.
