With on-screen credits spanning BBC One, BBC Two, CBBC, Love Nature, Animal Planet, and Sky TV, to name a few, Lizzie is becoming a recognisable face on our screens.

Lizzie is currently in production for an upcoming animal wildlife series for Channel 4. She recently worked alongside US-based marine experts to explore the marine life of North America for Love Nature series, Deep Dive North America. This comes as a spin-off of Deep Dive Australia which aired on Sky TV in 2024.

Filming Work

As an experienced underwater and topside cinematographer, as well as drone operator, Lizzie shoots much of her own content, both for broadcast and for her impressive online community. Her work has taken her solo to some of the planet’s most remote and treacherous terrains, including the Arctic, Antarctica, and the Amazon.

In 2019, during Wild Ocean Week, Lizzie travelled the UK to document and share her extraordinary marine encounters. A film of her diving alongside a giant barrel jellyfish in Cornwall went viral, receiving over 1.3 million views on BBC News’ YouTube channel.

Adventurer

Lizzie has spent a significant amount of time in extreme environments. In particular, she has completed several expeditions to the Arctic circle, both with crew and solo. Highlights included filming musk oxen and killer whales, as well as the opportunity to document the devastating impact of our changing polar environment.

With considerable time spent on expeditions in extreme climates, keeping fit is vital for Lizzie. She recently completed a 140km solo ultramarathon in the Arctic Circle, which saw temperatures reach -35 degrees. Lizzie is also an avid rock climber, kayaker, HSE qualified scuba diver and freediver.

Engaging and personable, Lizzie is highly sought-after as a speaker, host and compere. She has hosted interviews at mega-corporations including Google, Adidas and Huawei, and as part of ICUN’s COP26, she interviewed CEOs of major companies and key policymakers, including ex-US Vice President Al Gore. Other influential interviewees include Tom Daly, Steve Backshall, Jane Goodall and Bertie Gregory, to name a few.

Lizzie has also spoken at a wide range of conferences and festivals. These include New Scientist, Norwich Science Festival, Blue Earth Summit, Royal Geographic Society, Northern Ireland Science Festival and Chester Zoo.

In 2020, Lizzie virtually live-hosted the full week of world-leading film festival, Wildscreen, presenting over 50 hours of live content. Since, she has hosted Wildscreen’s prestigious Panda Awards 4 times.

Lizzie’s talks cover themes from pushing the boundaries and being a woman in stem, to adventuring in the wild and making an impact through science and storytelling. Whether at a corporate event, conference, festival or bespoke masterclass, with key themes of achieving success, preserving our planet, and bettering your mental and physical health, Lizzie leaves audiences with a renewed energy and sense of purpose.
