I’m a freelance journalist based in London and reporting from all corners of the globe. I have a strong background in customer and consumer publishing, with expertise in managing client relationships, a keen eye for design and a talent for storytelling, specialising in features on human interest, women’s equality, culture and travel, particularly with a sustainability or humanitarian focus.
I’m UK editor for Skyscanner, the travel-booking service with 10 million unique hits per month. For them I commission, edit, write and upload timely, trend-led and human-interest travel features. Since March 2020 we’ve pivoted the strategy to produce advice features and content marketing around travel during coronavirus. I also undertake SEO analysis and improvement, and manage a network of contributors.
Previously, I was content editor at feminist multimedia startup Modern Woman; features writer at The Wharf, Reach PLC; deputy editor at b.inspired by Brussels Airlines, Ink; associate editor at easyJet Traveller, Ink; and staff writer at France Media Group and Resource media.
As a freelance journalist I’ve written for Conde Nast Traveller, The Telegraph, The Independent, Time Out, Mixmag, Eventbrite, International Business Times, New Internationalist and more – as well as the inflight magazines for Virgin Atlantic, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Wizz Air and Norwegian Airlines. I also do regular shifts for the Metro’s lifestyle section.
As a freelance consultant I’ve relaunched content strategies for Exodus Travel and Wizz Air magazine. I’ve also been commissioned to write case studies for the women’s rights charity Rosa as well as a political analysis report for Lloyds Banking Group, on the landscape for women entrepreneurs in the UK, for an MP round table held at the House of Commons in February 2019.
My professional experience also includes hosting and moderating panel talks, writing and editing press releases, proofreading newsletter campaigns and WordPress / Adobe InDesign proficiency. I’ve also edited a children’s book and written a guidebook for DK Travel.
I’ve disappeared down potholes in Kiev and camped in the jungles of Sierra Leone in the name of a story, and I’m ready for another adventure.
