About Me...

I have 8+ years of TV experience across the realms of History, Archaeology, Travelogues and Engineering, and am confident in steering programmes from development into production.Whether traditional docs, or factual entertainment with a history, or culture centered twist, I can adapt my telly skills to a wide range of genres. I am editorially minded, with skills in interviewing, setting up shoots at home and abroad, securing tricky locations, working with celebs, sticking to tight budgets, treatment creation, working in virtual reality and with GFX, directing recon, and carrying out primary source based history and archive research.I have a strong desire to improve on screen diversity without making this a box ticking exercise, hence my large personal network of historians and experts. I have a long-term relationship with archive heavy shows.A team player, able to lead, but will jump in to help on anything that needs doing!My career highlights so far include working at Hatshepsut's temple in Egypt at dawn, after a Nile boat trip.

History Research

I am an experienced archive researcher across lots of periods and cultures. I specialise in Art History provenance research and have completed genealogical research both personally and professionally.I have a degree from University College London: History of Art with Archaeology, 2:1 BA hons (2016)I studied History of Art, from Classical to Modern, with a subsidiary in Archaeology. My final year specialism was Beatrix Potter's Mycological illustration.I have worked to uncover the provenance of works by Angelika Kauffman and Frances Hodgkins.I undertake commissions for private provenance research. I can liaise with institutions, complete primary source research and present the owner with a dossier that they may be able to put forward for evaluation .

CURATORIAL WORK

Stranger in Silver Walking on Air, 2025, The White House, DagenhamI curated a new exhibition-within-an-exhibition within Delaine Le Bas’ (Turner Prize nominee 2024) Stranger in Silver Walking on Air. This intimate presentation gathers new and existing works to explore the intersections of queerness, Roma & Traveller heritages, survival and joy. Through sculptural pieces, photography, painting, illustration, and tarot cards, Zhuzh the Yog’s artwork expands the immersive world of Le Bas’ installation with personal gestures, radical kinship and shared heritage.
