Interview

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

I'm always open to new ideas. I think the best way to do so is in a concise email where the pitch is outlined succinctly and clearly.

What tools and software do you use to do your job?

To carry out my job, the main software and tools I use are Emaki CMS and Photoshop.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

I am most proud of writing several articles, particularly ranking every single Premier League stadium based on atmosphere.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

I'd suggest working hard, being flexible with time and not being afraid to take opportunities that come your way.

When's the best time to pitch you?

The best time to pitch me is between the average working hours of 8am and 5pm. Although there are no real limits on this.

What's the worst pitch you ever got?

I'm happy to report that I am yet to receive a bad pitch.

What's your favorite drink?

My favourite drink is Lemonade.

Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?

I enjoy reading FourFourTwo.
