Television, Radio, Writing

I started my career in journalism as a newspaper reporter before moving into broadcasting. For 20 years I have juggled writing, television and radio production – because I enjoy every form of storytelling and want to do it all!

My first love, though, has to be audio production. Doubling up as a producer and presenter, I’ve travelled the world recording and editing radio, from mustering cattle in the Australian outback to delivering animal vaccines to smallholder farmers in Ghana to interviewing American soybean growers about trade tariffs at the Iowa State Fair. Travel and storytelling are my two great passions and you can listen to some of work below.

In producer mode for Channel 4’s Our Dream Farm with Matt Baker

I’m also an experienced Producer/Director in factual television. I was permanent staff at the BBC for 12 years, mostly working on BBC One’s Countryfile. In 2018, I was ready for a change so made the leap into freelance life. I went on to produce programmes for Channel 4 and direct a film, ‘God’s Lone Country‘, about rural poverty and isolation for the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission. I have also returned to Countryfile producing a couple of Harvest Specials with Adam Henson and the team.
