ABOUT

 

I love making films, telling stories and asking questions.

I'm an award-winning journalist and filmmaker with experience shooting, producing and directing programmes on six continents, for a range of British and international networks: BBC, Channel 4, Discovery, Al Jazeera English, PBS Frontline and online outlets such as The Economist Films and The Financial Times.

I have extensive experience in finding and pitching stories to commissioners and seeing these films through production. I strive for high-impact storytelling, exploring subjects as diverse as modern slavery, the environment, terrorism, sexual exploitation, finance, health issues and more.

Some of the best and most rewarding films I've worked on have come from ideas where the end goal seemed almost impossible: filming in -25 degrees cold in the wilderness of Mongolia; gaining access to the world's most notorious prison in Haiti or making an emotive yet impartial film about abortion in my home country ahead of an historic referendum.

Over the last two years, I’ve also had the opportunity to report for the BBC, working on the BBC Travel Show and exploring countries as diverse as Slovakia to Rwanda. Off the back of the success of my report at home in West Cork, I pitched and produced my own food-come-travel series, A Taste of the City, broadcast on BBC World.
