    Credits include Entertainment Tonight, GMTV (Entertainment Today / Lorraine Kelly Today), MTV, CDUK, SMTV Live, MBC TV, E! News and the BBC.

    I have a great eye for a story, excellent people skills and a strong editorial sense.  My experience includes both prerecorded and live studio programming, and I have a proven track record in working on fast turnaround shows under high pressure conditions... remaining calm, efficient and focused throughout.
     
    Over the course of my career I have supervised multiple edits, filmed on DV and produced one-hours, half hours and VTs. I also have extensive experience in interviewing high profile celebrities as well as non-celebrity contributors on more sensitive subject matters.  

    I'm passionate and knowledgable about  music, film and pop culture and as a result I've worked on some of the biggest celebrity and entertainment programmes in the UK and internationally.

    Languages: Fluent Arabic, conversational French.
