Powerful Content

The selection of interviews and content are all about delivering important messages and needed different communication skills to make them happen. 

Below are a selection of interviews where I was the producer or interviewer. They require some mastering basic communication and negotiation skills to land the interviews and then also to deliver the powerful content. They also show off my work in diversity, equality and inclusion. 

Football’s Hidden Talent

I was the senior producer and editorial lead for the documentary which was shortlisted at the Asian Media Awards

My interview with Kathrine Switzer

In 1967 Kathrine was the first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon and has been a pioneer for women to take up running. Over 41,000 people have watched my interview which you can see here:

My interview with Stephanie Gilmore

Described as a GOAT Stephanie told me about her experiences in surfing and the stereotype of believing women in their 30s are past their prime. 

The inside story of the 1968 protest

I was the producer of this special report which spoke to the key players involved in iconic protest on the podium at the Mexico Olympics. It was also recognised by the International Olympic Committee. 

Olympic dreams, Harvard and Imposter Syndrome

The Story History Forgot

I was the producer of this exclusive interview with the first person to win back-to-back gold medals at the Olympics. Wyomia Tyus won gold in 1964 and 1968.

The One With Sebastian Vettel and a Sports Drink

I set up this interview with Sebastian Vettel and it provided me with some good learnings about colleagues communicating to get the most out of an interview, finding the best news line, athletes promoting a product, negotiating getting extra interview time, and not to forget important communications with other departments to align broadcast dates.

Neurodiversity Celebration Week

One in five of the population are neurodiverse and I worked with reporter Nick Ransom to deliver this piece for Sky Sports News.

Vaisakhi celebrated at Lord’s

I enjoyed doing the interviews and producing this piece on a fabulous occasion at Lord’s as the ECB’s staff created a wonderful event as cricket tries to be the most inclusive sport in the UK

The Archbishop of York’s love of football!

When England reached the European Championships final and the match would be played on Sunday, one of those watching would be the Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell. Watch the lovely interview on Sky about faith, football, and find out why Archbishop Stephen thinks God is a little like a Sky Sports presenter.
