About

A media professional with more than 12 years’ experience working in CNN’s London newsroom. I believe in the power of filmmaking and have a proud record of delivering multi-platform content to the highest broadcast standards. My career until now has focused on original journalism and distinctive video storytelling.

I’ve been recognised for my contributions to award-winning breaking news coverage of the war in Ukraine, the outbreak of Covid, and other major stories.

I’m a motivated, confident, and team-oriented creator who enjoys meeting new people and learning new skills.
