Since 2001, through my company Rockfinch Ltd, I have researched and produced radio and TV programmes, mainly on arts subjects. I’ve also kept up my interest in education, producing DVDs for a leading German educational publishing company, producing videos and writing reports for the Post Primary Languages Initiative, directing and producing adult literacy TV programmes, publishing an adult literacy resource book, and project-managing a development education website.

Former chair of the Association of Independent Radio Producers of Ireland (no longer operating).

I enjoy initiating and producing my own projects, but am also available to work on a contract basis for other companies.
