I'm a writer with a passion for human rights, the natural world and culture.
For half the week, you'll find me at my Dorset desk, working on journalism, copywriting and creative projects. For the other half, I'm the deputy editor at Index on Censorship magazine, where I work with dissidents across the world. I spend my time commissioning, editing and writing, alongside debating the finer points of free expression.
I've written for the BBC, the Independent, i News, the Natural History Museum, New Internationalist and The Big Issue, alongside plenty of others (there's a full list below). Some of my favourite stories have included a long-form piece for The Conversationalist about nanas fighting fracking, a long-read about pants of protest for New Internationalist and an investigation for Smithsonian into the women who faced England's ducking stools.
I also like to make room for a little fun. I had a great time as the lead writer for TOPIA, where I somehow convinced the editor to let me write as a talking beaver (among other more serious things), and by some miracle I've landed a spot as a content editor and copywriter for the EBU, which means I get to go to the actual Eurovision Song Contest for a sparkle-fuelled, sleep-deprived fortnight each year, and smash out lots of features and copy.
Before stepping into the world of freelance, I was a founding member of The Lush Times (an online platform for reporting the unreported) and co-editor of the revived Lush Times magazine. In my role as senior writer at Lush, I travelled all over the world, telling stories about people and the planet. I investigated vegan activism in Toronto, spent time with regenerative farmers in India and met Syrian refugees working as rose pickers in Turkey. Although the adventures were plentiful, there was also lots of exciting work back at the Dorset HQ. I led awareness-raising campaigns, working with grassroots charities and organisations, and wrote every type of copy under the sun. Including the famously sassy product descriptions.
With my feet firmly on UK soil, I've investigated issues like the censorship of scientists who question animal testing methods and the controversial undercover policing scandal, meeting women impacted directly. My Index on Censorship investigation into censorship in UK school libraries made headlines across the country in 2024, including in the Guardian, ITV and a front-page Independent spread. It was also raised in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords. In recent years, I've become something of a book ban nerd.
In 2018, after part-time study alongside a full-time job (not advisable), I received a distinction in MA Journalism Practice from Bournemouth University, after researching the ethical storytelling of refugee issues – a topic which I continue to speak about and explore. Since then, I'm delighted to have been a runner up for a string of awards, including the New Media Writing Prize and the Freelance Writing Awards.
I've written copy for brands including Ordnance Survey, Jungle Culture and Loóna, as well as top-secret agency work (not the James Bond kind). I've created an art heist mystery game for Magic: The Gathering, and Effervescent invited me to work with their young creatives on Lonely Not Alone, a digital universe erasing the stigma of youth loneliness. It is a stratospherically beautiful site and I'm so proud to have been involved.
Beyond telling stories, I am happiest by the sea or in the forest. I love the natural world, and in particular the ocean. I'm a mama, a book lover and a theatre-goer, who spent years as a bookseller and several more as an actor.
If you'd like to work together, please do drop me a line.
