Multi-platform video + audio journalist, producer and editor.
I produce, report and edit stories in a rolling, broadcast news environment for audiences of millions. I’ve worked in a range of roles at the BBC, Sky UK, TRT World, as well as the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s award-winning 24-hour news channel.
I’ve been at the centre of coverage of major news events over the last five years, including war and conflict, political upheaval, major elections, natural disasters and the deepening climate crisis.
Here is a sample of my original work:
