Currently, as Editor at Radio 2, I focus on developing engaging content for 35+ listeners while also contributing to the evolution of well loved shows like Sara Cox and Jo Whiley. I have also been responsible for developing new shows from the likes of Trevor Nelson and DJ Spoony (The Good Groove).Previously, my role at Radio 1 enhanced my understanding of young audience behaviors (16-24), allowing me to drive innovative programming that speaks directly to their interests and habits. From launching new shows and podcast ideas to nurturing emerging talent both on and off-air, my career has been rooted in creative leadership and storytelling. I have lead teams working on some of Radio 1’s most iconic show titles - Radio 1 Breakfast with Greg James, R1 Dance Party with Danny Howard, Radio 1’s Essential Mix with Pete Tong, and Radio 1’s Rap Show with Kenny Allstar. I've had the privilege of collaborating with some of the most talented minds in the industry, and I’m passionate about motivating my teams to push boundaries and exceed expectations. Always focused on inspiring creativity, I continue to seek fresh ways to engage audiences and lead with innovation
