About
With 20 years investigative journalism experience under my belt, I’m adept at working on programmes with complex legals, heavy compliance and sensitive contributors/access in premium docs, current affairs, factual and fact ents arena. I have a good track record generating original journalism and can build and maintain relationships quickly / gain access. I take a forensic approach to detail, note taking and deadlines. I’m excellent on the phone, skilled at finding stories / contributors, standing them up and developing ideas. I’m a capable undercover operative / handler. My highly adaptable interpersonal skills, coupled with years of industry experience, puts me in a perfect position to Welfare Produce, an area I am passionate about and wish to develop further.
