About ME

I’m a Creative Producer and Audio Editor with 13+ years of experience at the BBC, crafting standout audio with the likes of Zoe Ball, Sara Cox, Vernon Kay, Tony Blackburn and Steve Wright.

I specialise in content creation for live and recorded radio shows and podcasts, turning ideas into must-listen audio, shaping formats, directing talent, and delivering broadcast-quality sound on tight turnarounds. From live programmes to premium podcasts and branded series, I know how to hook audiences, keep them, and grow them—while staying sharp on compliance and editorial standards.

In 2019 I was part of the team that launched the Zoe Ball Breakfast Show on Radio 2, the UK’s most-listened-to breakfast radio show. There I expertly edited long-form interviews with A-list guests including Bono, Bruce Springsteen and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson into high-impact, compliant broadcast segments and weekly highlight podcasts.

More recently, as Lead Producer I helped raise over £10m for charity through high-impact content with ‘Sara’s Great Northern Marathon Challenge’ for BBC Children in Need.

I am also a dedicated Arsenal Season Ticket Holder and proud owner of a Cavapoo named Dennis.

Proficient in dira Startrack, Sadie, Adobe Audition, and familiar with Pro Tools and Reaper.

I’m now launching my own audio production company to help brands and creators tell stories that cut through the noise. If you want a calm, creative partner who delivers every time, please contact me on the links below.
