About me
I am a multi-award-winning journalist and editor based in Oxfordshire, UK, and working remotely with people and organisations around the world.
My career began in 2016, when I spent a month on the features desk as woman&home’s work experience intern. The following year, I freelanced for various publications, graduated from Keele University with a first-class degree in English, and joined Happiful magazine, taking up the post of Editorial Assistant.
Today, I am Happiful’s Features Editor, where I write, commission, and edit across the print magazine and website – and also guest edit several issues a year. During my time at the magazine, I have had the opportunity to work on investigative features, tell meaningful and uplifting stories, and interview celebrities, activists, artists, experts, and cultural trailblazers.
My freelance bylines include The Guardian, The i paper, Mslexia, Metro and more. You can find links to some of my work in my portfolio. I have also taken part in radio, podcast, and in-person panel interviews, most recently appearing as a guest on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour. Browse some of my previous appearances.
In 2022 I was shortlisted for the Dawn Foster Memorial Prize for my essay on the housing crisis, published by Red Pepper in partnership with HCI Skills Gateway. In 2023, I was named runner-up in The Orwell Society/NUJ Young Journalist Prize in the political column category, and was also named a PPA Next Gen Award-winner (previously PPA 30 under 30). I have also won and been shortlisted for several awards for my work on the Happiful newsletter.
In addition to my journalism, I also offer a range of editorial services including copyediting, proofreading, ghostwriting, and mental health sensitivity reading. In this time, I have worked with major publishing houses in the UK and US, as well as independent authors, and companies seeking copy and editorial advice.
