I am a multi-award-winning lifestyle journalist and reporter based in London, England.

​

I cover culture, society and the ideas capturing the zeitgeist.

 

For Newsweek, I write with a specialist focus on relationships and their intersection with technology, gender and generation.

 

I have previously worked at Global's LBC and at The Times and The Sunday Times.

 

I have produced stories for both British and American audiences, crafting features, profiles, case study-led articles and human interest pieces that sit at the edge of what is happening culturally before it becomes the conversation everyone is having.

 

Alongside my reporting, I make short films and have contributed as a guest voice and researcher to productions across BBC and Sky.

 

My first documentary is currently in development.

 

This website is more than a portfolio. It is an independent editorial project—a place for my original journalism, lifestyle magazine, newsletter, films and more—built, written and curated, entirely by me.
