THE
SCRIPT EDITOR
ABOUT
I'm passionate about helping and supporting writers realise their vision through the creative process, with over 8 years experience in the Television industry.
​
I started my career at the heart of British Television, EASTENDERS, where I worked on over 200 episodes of the primetime BBC1 show. I then went on to work for Blueprint Pictures, script editing A VERY BRITISH SCANDAL, the limited series penned by prolific screenwriter Sarah Phelps, starring Claire Foy and Paul Bettany. I currently reside in the U.K’s best known mortuary, working on my fourth season of SILENT WITNESS as Senior Script Editor, working closely with a range of experienced and emerging writers.
​
Whilst at Silent Witness, I have also helped to establish and oversee the shows first shadow scheme, which seeks to nurture and champion new writers through the often turbulent world of TV production.
Outside of the silver screen, I also work as a script analyst and have read for most of the top screenwriting platforms out there, including BAFTA Rocliffe, Shore Scripts and the International Screenwriters Association. Over the years I have become an industry trusted development consultant and have worked across a slate of various independent feature screenplays.
​
I am now taking on freelance work as a Script & Development Editor, offering a wealth of editorial experience to writers keen to elevate their next draft.
