About

I am an accomplished foreign correspondent, producer and video journalist. Over the past 20 years I have shot, produced and reported over one hundred current affairs length reports and documentaries in over 80 countries. I am currently working as independent Filmmaker and a Correspondent for the 'Our World' program on BBC Television. (2016-2020) I have travelled extensively throughout the United States on more than 25 feature assignments for SBS (2000-2014). My work at SBS has been complemented by work with Al Jazeera (2006-2013) and I have made more than a dozen films for the network's Witness, People & Power and 101 East programs. I have received a number of international awards including two New York Festivals Silver World Medals for Best News and Documentary Special, and best news reporter. I have extensive experience in reporting from hostile environments, including the Madagascar, Lebanon and the Caucuses. In 2014, I covered Thailand's political violence followed by extensive reporting from Eastern Ukraine from the start of the civil war to the downing of MH17. My extensive filmography can be viewed on my Vimeo page including my recent films for the BBC in Australia, NZ and the United States (2016-2020).
