It turns out that I'm an organiser. I've always been a fast worker, so when my work was done, I'd find something to research or organise or tidy. I just can't help myself!

From making a clothing stock room more efficient, to designing a totally new database for film material; whenever I finished my work I'd find a new project to organise.

When my second child was born and I started to look for work outside the home again, I took on a few small cataloguing jobs for friends. Those jobs too, quickly evolved into research project, redesigns and organising.

So I thought, why not make that my thing?

My interest in media began as a child with an unusually strong BBC Radio 4 obsession.

While reading History at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, this radio fixation was fed by co-hosting the Luke, Pedro and Emily Show on CUR1350. Studying modern history increased my appreciation for film as a historical source, which lead to my employment (after a brief stint in the library at the Institute for Historical Research) at the BUFVC on their ‘Cinemagazines and the Projection of Britain’ project. On the completion of the project, I moved to BBC Motion Gallery, working on research and educational projects, until I left for the birth of my first child.
