Welcome

I'm an award-winning radio documentary maker, journalist, trainer and career coach, with over 30 years' experience in the media industry, including 20 years at the BBC.
My work spans three areas: helping universities maximise the impact of their research, producing high-quality radio programmes and podcasts, and supporting individuals at important stages in their careers.
Research impact and REF support
Since 2012, I've worked with universities to help researchers develop their impact skills and communicate their work effectively to wider audiences.
Through the specialist agency Bulletin Academic, I provide research impact training and individual support for researchers preparing impact case studies for REF2029.
I also offer practical media training, helping academics develop the confidence and skills to handle radio and television interviews.
Audio production and media training
As an award-winning documentary maker, and an Executive Producer and Editor for CTVC, I've overseen hundreds of BBC radio programmes and podcasts.
I produce and oversee radio documentaries, programmes and podcasts to the highest editorial and production standards.
I also provide tailored broadcast and media training for organisations and individuals, drawing on my extensive experience as a journalist, producer and editor.
Career coaching and training
I offer one-to-one career coaching and individually tailored career-related training for people at critical junctions in their working lives.
This includes helping clients explore new directions, identify opportunities and tap into the hidden job market. I also offer specialist coaching for people returning to work or rethinking their careers after cancer.
Let's talk
Whether you're a university, charity, media company or individual, I offer practical, tailored support to help you achieve your goals.
