Producer

I produce films for the Cornell Lab’s Center for Conservation Media in service of birds and their habitats. Through researching stories, directing shoots, and supervising edits, I work closely with organizations and creatives who are shaping the future of our landscapes. Bringing my experience as a natural history TV producer to impactful conservation projects is deeply rewarding. I grew up in the fenlands of the U.K. and first worked with the Lab in another kind of wetland: the saltmarshes of Connecticut. Grass has been a recurring feature of my past productions, so it feels fitting to be part of a team focused on the grasslands of North America, where bird species are in sharp decline. I hope through our output, we can give these spaces the recognition they deserve!
