Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

After leaving uni, I landed a two-week trial at The Sun. And the rest is history... :)

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Without wanting to sound very old, yes. My mum had an electric one and my first experience of typing was on that.

How is social media changing news?

First and foremost, social media changed news by breaking stories ahead of the traditional outlets.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

For me, it means being able to write about my passion.

What's your favorite social network?

It used to be Twitter but I'd say Instagram now.

Who do you wish followed you?

To be honest, that happened when Gordon Ramsay followed me on Twitter before it became X.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Work hard, grab every opportunity that comes your way and never let anything dull your enthusiasm.

What's your favorite drink?

I'll have to pick three: Water, Coke and Camden Hells (on the odd occasion).
