Lucy is an experienced multimedia journalist and filmmaker whose work centres on migration, conflict and climate.
After graduating from the University of Bristol with a first-class honours degree in History – writing a dissertation on the Rwandan genocide – she studied media law, shorthand and reporting with the NCTJ and worked as a senior reporter and acting editor of a press agency, covering breaking news, courts, crime and features for the national press in London.
She has reported from the frontline of the ongoing frozen conflict in eastern Ukraine, filmed in the ancient city of Petra, Jordan, and taken the Trans-Siberian Railway across three countries. She's working on a long-term project on the generational legacy of forced migration – part oral history, part documentary.
Her film work encompasses directing, editing and producing videos for magazines and clients including Canon. She has directed, shot, stitched and edited VR films for DHL, Xbox and Vodafone and writes and edits for NGOs including Save the Children UK.
Lucy is a member of the NUJ and the Frontline Freelance Register, a mentor with The Second Source's 2019 and 2020 mentorship scheme and a volunteer with investigative journalism project The Citizens.
