About Me

I'm an enthusiastic London-based journalist interested in writing about culture, current affairs, mental health and lifestyle. 

I have recently written for The Guardian, The Fence, Time Out and Polyester Zine, among other publications.

I am an alumna of City's MA Magazine Course, and my final project was centred on female experiences with autism. Modules have covered Media Law, Journalism Ethics, Production (Video, Digital, and Subediting), Magazine Storytelling (producing two portfolios of work), and Business of Media (creating a brand and pitching it to industry professionals). I also chose to do the following specialisms: Political Headlines, Arts and Culture, and First-Person Narrative Non-Fiction. I received either a Merit or a Distinction for all of these modules, as well as for my participation in creating XCity Magazine and for my final project.

I was deputy features editor for XCity Magazine, and deeply enjoyed working with writers to bring their pitches to print, as well as writing three news pieces and two features across the magazine.

I have also undertaken several internships: on the news desk at The Bookseller, where I wrote 26 articles on rights deals, hires in the industry, and other publishing news, as an editorial intern at The Fence, where I did research for features, edited copy, and pitched ideas as well as producing a feature for publication in their next print issue, and finally at The Times as an editorial assistant, researching for interviews and features and writing newsletter copy.

From April 2021 to June 2022, I was Print Editor for the University of Exeter's RAZZ magazine, having previously been Outreach Officer.

In 2021, I won the Student Publication Association's award for Highly Commended in the Best Student Journalist of the South West category. 

When I'm not writing I can be found at the cinema, or at a spin class.
