Talent Executive
I’m a Talent Executive for the Natural History Unit at BBC Studios, responsible for Landmarks and Children’s programming. I’ve been in this role since 2004, covering Production Management, Bristol Factual and the Natural History Unit. I started my career as a Secretary at Central TV in Birmingham, working in the management team, personnel, then on production. Because of my passion for wildlife, I moved to Bristol to join the BBC where I worked as a Production Secretary, then as a Production Co-ordinator in the Natural History Unit working on several exciting series which involved travelling to South America, Australia, Borneo and Costa Rica. My highlights include being cuddled by an orphaned baby orangutan and watching the condors at Colca Canyon. Combining my production and personnel experience, enabled me to secure my current role in Talent.
