Summary

Possessing 25 years experience in television, I have worked for all the leading production companies and broadcasters covering news, sport, lifestyle, reality and ob/doc genres. Joining Fredbird Entertainment in late 2018, I have enjoyed the hands on and immersive approach of the business. Being across all aspects of production, from casting to field, post and development, has given me the chance to utilise my vast array of skills and experience.
