To read what sort of things I've written, check out my LinkTree.
Beginning my career writing for Bauer’s women’s entertainment and lifestyle brands such as Heat, The Debrief - where I won the PPA Rising Stars award for best lifestyle writer - and Grazia, I now cover a range of topics including lifestyle, health, entertainment, crime, policy and politics.
My work has featured in The Guardian, The Times, The Sunday Times, Grazia, Stylist, i-D, VICE, Refinery29, Grazia, Private Eye, Channel 4 News, Politico, Vogue, The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Observer, Channel 4 and ES Magazine. My investigations have made impact, with my stories resulting in MPs signing up to anti-harassment training and alleged abusers stepping down from positions of power. I’ve also exposed faults in statutory provision using FOI and have spent three years producing a #MeToo documentary for the BBC.
In the 18 months to December 2023, I led editorial at woo, an ITV-run lifestyle destination where I tripled organic traffic, developed workflow processes and editorial strategy, managing a team of four to make positive Gen Z content. I also worked alongside the e-commerce team to promote its products and built and curated a marketing email of 40,000
I am a confident and witty writer with contacts across a range of industries and backgrounds and an ability to communicate easily with everyone. I work in agile and creative ways to achieve goals for both me and whomever I work with or for!
