Director of albert
Hello! I’m responsible for the overall delivery of albert‘s aims and objectives. Having grown up in the natural beauty of North Wales, I’ve always been a keen environmentalist and as a teenager, found inspiration on screen to pursue a career where I could contribute to the big issues of our time. My previous roles in Parliament, BBC Studios, the Creative Industries Council and National Grid have since reinforced the importance of the screen industries collaborating to tackle climate change. It’s an absolute privilege to lead a team who is at the forefront of this.

Hi! Before coming to albert, I completed a Production Management MA, and wrote my dissertation on albert! I also did a BA in German, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. Here at albert, I assist productions in reducing and measuring their carbon footprint. I also help with carbon action plans and organise our carbon literacy training sessions. I love being a part of an organisation that’s making a global effort to increase sustainability in the film and television industry. Contact me if you have any questions about your carbon footprint or carbon action plan.

After working on projects, awards and events across WFTV, BAFTA, D&AD and The BFI, I was lucky enough to join the albert team. I primarily look after our year-round programme of events - so let me know your ideas for topics and speakers! I also deliver training, alongside managing a variety of projects. Currently I’m focused on games and talent alongside our upcoming subtitle report

Hello! I'm responsible for supporting albert's comms and looking after its social media channels. My background is in biochemistry and stem cell biology, and I decided to pursue my passions in the arts industries through acting and filmmaking. I'm interested in how the filmmaking process works and how the industry is evolving with consideration to modern issues - this was an interest I could pursue with albert, as sustainability is fast becoming a major concern in the industry.

I began working on albert back in 2011 when - as member of the BAFTA Communications team - I was handed albert as a ‘little additional job’ to help set up.
10 years later, having worked for BAFTA, Harvey Nichols and beyond, I am back where I began and really enjoying the challenge of growing awareness of albert within our industry. The project’s come a long way since we launched as a carbon calculator back in 2011!
...to drive tangible change
