She’s made programmes for broadcasters around the world including the BBC, ITV, Sky, Channel 4, Discovery Channel, National Geographic TV, ABC Australia, TVNZ, Netflix and many more.

It’s work that’s taken her to many fascinating and far-flung locations – from refugee camps and war zones to adventures in remote deserts, mountains and jungles. She’s filmed with everyone from high-profile celebrities to isolated pygmy tribes in Uganda.

During her career, she’s worn many different “hats” including Head of Factual, Head of Development, Executive Producer, Producer, Director, DV Shooter, Editor, Scriptwriter, and Development Executive.

Jeanie’s been a long-standing member of BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television), and has appeared at screen industry events around the world, notably the Edinburgh International Television Festival, Realscreen, BANFF, MIPCOM and MIPTV, the Australian International Documentary Conference, and the Adventure Travel Film Festival. 

She’s listed by BBC Media Action as a highly-experienced Consultant Producer and has UN Advanced Security in the Field Training for working in challenging and remote environments.

As UNICEF UK’s Television Manager, she worked on film and TV projects with high-profile UNICEF Ambassadors including Ewan McGregor, Tom Hiddleston and David Beckham as well as acclaimed Channel 4 documentary Children Of War and the BBC’s BAFTA award-winning The Boy On The Bicycle, both highlighting the plight of Syrian refugee children. And as Amnesty International’s Digital Program Manager, she filmed and produced content for a range of high-profile human rights campaigns.

From 2018-2020, Jeanie worked at Screen Australia in Sydney, managing a diverse slate of documentary features, broadcast and SVOD series, digital and VR projects and running commissioning initiatives with domestic and international broadcasters including the ABC and Al Jazeera’s highly-acclaimed Witness documentary strand.

For two years from early 2021, she was based on the Far North Coast of NSW, Australia, working for non-profit Screenworks as their Industry Development Manager, creating programs and initiatives for drama, feature film and documentary filmmakers in regional, rural and remote Australia.

In January 2023, she relocated back to Sydney to take up an exciting new role as Head of Industry & Alumni Engagement at the Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS), working at the heart of the domestic and international screen industry to create dynamic and relevant skills training and employment opportunities for film, TV and radio students and practitioners.
