About me
I’m a freelance journalist and media consultant based in London. My writing and reporting covers the intersections of identity, culture and underrepresented communities, and my work has been published in TIME, the Guardian, openDemocracy, Al Jazeera, CNN, ELLE and more. Here’s a selection of work I’m particularly proud of. I’m a Visiting Lecturer on the MA Magazine Journalism course at City, University of London, and I am also a media consultant, working with values-driven organisations on their communications and storytelling. Here’s a selection of projects I’ve recently completed. I’m the creator of Ginkgo Leaves, my newsletter loosely inspired by the ginkgo tree, and I’m the co-founder of fragments, a newsletter exploring sibling grief in all its forms.
From 2021-2023, I was Head of Editorial at gal-dem, the award-winning media company committed to sharing the perspectives of people of colour from marginalised genders. Prior to this, I was based at TIME for five years, first as an Audience Editor in Hong Kong, then as a Senior Reporter covering gender, culture and underrepresented communities in London. I wrote two cover stories for TIME in 2019—both involving train travel across Europe with Greta Thunberg.
I have previously volunteered with Arts Emergency as a coach—find out more about their work supporting young creatives here. And I’m a published short fiction story writer, with two of my stories published by TOKEN magazine and The Plaza Prizes in 2023.
