JOURNALISM

I'm a versatile journalist with an MA in Newspaper Journalism (Distinction) from City, University of London. I've worked across print and digital, covering everything from breaking news and investigations to long-form features and celebrity interviews.  

I led the award-nominated Justice For Our Daughters campaign, calling for tougher sentences for domestic killers. I also have an MA in History of Art and Art World Practice, and have written about art for magazines.

If you have a scoop, story or subject you want covering, you can trust me to do it justice.
