I have worked as a casting director for over 25 years, on projects spanning television, theatre and film. Television credits include four series of Silent Witness, the award-winning Don’t Take My Baby, Our World War and Glasgow Girls, as well as international projects for Warner Bros and Sky Arts. With Sam Stevenson, I was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for our work on the BBC1 adaptation of Emma. My work in theatre includes many productions with Sir Peter Hall, Howard Davies, Thea Sharrock, Blanche McIntyre, Adam Penford, Simon Godwin, Madani Younis, and Melly Still. Most recently, I worked in-house at BBC Studios Drama Productions, casting Casualty, Father Brown, Shakespeare & Hathaway and Sister Boniface Mysteries.

Recently, I developed and ran a nationwide project for BBC Studios Drama Productions and Spotlight, to bring screen acting training to actors who had no on-screen experience. I am also a visiting lecturer for the MA Screen Acting course at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.

Business clients currently include EF (Efekta) and BBC Studios.
