I am a BBC trained Video Journalist, proficient in self-shooting DV with over 12 years broadcasting experience. Employed with Ten Alps Digital I was involved in the launch of Kent TV, the first county broadband TV channel in Europe. Highly Commeded Television Journalist of the Year 2008 in London and the South of England. I have worked across a broad range of TV genres from news/current affairs to undercover investigations. In April 2006, I produced a series of exclusive stories for the BBC about a British woman running a marathon at the North Pole. I arranged the logistics, produced, filmed and edited a series of episodes, filed within 24 hours – a global first - which were broadcast on BBC News Channel and Nations & Regions.
