About Me
Since 2001 I have worked my way up from Edit Assistant to Online Editor with credits on some of the biggest shows on telly, including Embarrassing Bodies, How to Look Good Naked and 10 Years Younger. In my varied experience I have worked for both a dedicated post facility and at in-house facilities which have both been extremely rewarding.
Now based in Buckinghamshire I have easy access to Birmingham, Bristol and London. I currently spend most of my year on Escape to the Country which I have been working on for seven years.
I have Cerebral Palsy which affects my speech and movement – but in no way affects my ability to do a great job.
More about that here (feel free to share).
