Two years freelance! ✍️
It's been just over two years since I left The Standard after seven years writing and editing features. Since then, I've moved to Sydney (and back again), written for The Times, Sunday Times, The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Observer, The i Paper, The Independent and Stylist, written and hosted an investigative podcast that reached number two in the UK charts and made a billboard in Times Square, and finished my first novel (publication still very much a work in progress) ✈️ 🗞️ 📚 🎙️
I've been lucky enough to report on everything from women's health and politics to sport, travel and the stranger corners of London and Sydney life... with some fairly ridiculous assignments along the way (highlights: swimming in the Thames, cuddling a baby kangaroo, going back to school, interviewing shark attack survivors, queueing for Wimbledon, chatting to expats around the world, and being paid to watch and play a curious amount of padel... 🏊♀️ 🦘🦈🎒 🩺 🎾 )
Now back in London, I'm continuing to write features and take on newsletter-editing shifts, most recently at the BBC 💻
