I am a London-based journalist, sub-editor and digital content creator with an NCTJ Gold Standard Diploma in Multimedia Journalism from News Associates and an English degree from King's College London.
My career is defined by a consistent ability to enter unfamiliar specialist worlds and write with authority quickly. I have reported on fintech, AI and regulatory data at UKTN despite joining with no tech background; covered the luxury watch industry for Watch Insider as a freelance writer and sub-editor; reported on local healthcare inequality and community stories for Beat Media Group's The Londoners; and recently wrote a personal long-form feature on type 1 diabetes and hiking for Dayhike magazine. I have also interned at City A.M., contributing to their digital content production.
Alongside reporting, I have strong editorial and sub-editing experience. As Editor-in-Chief of The King's Tab I relaunched a dormant student publication from scratch; building the team to 40+ writers and six editors, overseeing the full production cycle from pitching to publication, and accumulating 89,000 views on my own articles. I sub-edit regularly for Watch Insider and I've proofed and edited copy to publication standard across every role I have held.
My broader content and communications background includes a Digital Marketing internship at The Great Friendship Project, where I managed content calendars, wrote SEO-driven copy and handled newsletter distribution and analytics via Zoho.
My personal journalism interests centre on music, culture and nature. I run blondtakes on Substack and TikTok, I've contributed music features and reviews to whynow and The Indiependent, and, more recenty, wrote a feature for DayHike Magazine.
I got my start in media at 15 as a volunteer presenter at my local hospital radio — a detail I mention less for its professional relevance and more because it is probably why I have never been able to go more than a few hours without music.
