Her early career training was at the BBC. She won a BAFTA Award for her work as sound effects editor on the miniseries Daniel Deronda, directed by Tom Hooper. She was supervising ADR editor on the miniseries Generation Kill, for which she received an Emmy Award as well as a Golden Reel Award from the Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE). She was also nominated for the latter honor on the aforementioned Darkest Hour and Atonement.

Ms. Ponting has worked on several films with director Stephen Frears, including the Best Picture Oscar nominee Philomena; on Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes movies; and on the recent 007 blockbuster No Time to Die, directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga.
