As a digital journalist and writer for over 10 years, I have significant experience of writing for online audiences and working in a fast-paced environment (full time at The Guardian and Refinery29 UK) and now as a freelancer for both editorial and commercial clients.

I was the senior news and feature writer at Refinery29 UK for three years between 2016 and 2019. I wrote in-depth reported features and news stories on issues ranging from violence against women and the impact of gentrification on working class communities, to the UK’s opioid epidemic and “vaginal rejuvenation” procedures.

Before this, I worked at the Guardian for two years, where I covered student life, education and issues affecting young people. I also commissioned articles, sub-edited copy, nurtured an online community and worked closely with brand sponsors.

In 2013 I won the Guardian’s Scott Trust bursary to study for an MA in Newspaper Journalism at City University London. That same year I graduated with a first-class degree in Politics, Psychology and Sociology (PPS) from the University of Cambridge.

Alongside my journalism work, I’m also a personal trainer with an online fitness and nutrition coaching business. I help busy people learn how to lift weights and fuel themselves well while still enjoying life.
