I am a freelance features journalist and content producer with ten years’ experience writing for publishers including The Huffington Post, The Guardian, Vice, The Independent, patient.info, and the BBC.
I specialise in health stories. I’ve interviewed a leading GP in the Ebola emergency camps, asked farmers how Brexit will affect their mental health, reported back from a climate anxiety workshop, and explored how cuts to NHS sexual health services are giving syphilis a second chance. I have experience sourcing and writing sensitive personal stories with people who have direct experience of ill health and difficult diagnoses including depression, anxiety, MS, cancer and heart disease.
I started out as the features editor at the UK’s leading magazine for GPs, Pulse, and was named one of MHP’s 30 Under 30 for my work in this role.
I currently work part-time on the content production team at Guardian Labs. In the past I have worked as a sub-editor for The Independent and a digital production journalist for The Sunday Times, and undertook freelance copyediting and proofreading for small independent clients.
