From 2019-2023 I worked at History Hit, a history subscription channel which produces hundreds of history films, podcasts and articles.
I worked on many areas of content creation - presenting, scripting, producing and editing documentaries and YouTube videos, producing and editing podcasts, writing articles and running social media channels.
PRESENTING
On the History Hit TV Channel, I’ve presented many documentaries, sometimes alongside the likes of Dan Snow and Dan Cruickshank. These include Stourhead, Sissinghurst, Secrets of Shakespeare’s Stratford, The English Parish Church, Ada Lovelace, Edinburgh New Town, The Women of the Second World War, The Uniform of the British Army, The Eleanor Crosses, Broadway Tower, The Rollright Stones, The Florence Nightingale Museum and The Battle of Edgehill. All of these I’ve scripted and presented, and some I’ve produced and edited, too.
Oh the History Hit YouTube channel, I present a series, Historic Locations. I’ve explored the secrets of some of the greatest historic locations in Britain - Blenheim Palace, Hever Castle, Temple Church, Salisbury Cathedral, Wells Cathedral - with many more to come!
I’ve had some glowing reviews, which you can see here.
TIKTOK
I grew the History Hit Tiktok account to 400k followers.

RESEARCHER/ASSISTANT PRODUCER
I edited Dan Snow’s History Hit podcast using Adobe Audition. I also created the thumbnails, wrote the descriptions and uploaded the podcasts on the relevant channels.
There were usually about seven a week!
I edited about twenty interviews with Dan and a historian, as a visual version of the podcast. I used Premiere Pro, After Effects and Photoshop.
