Content that connects.

BBC trained journalist with over 10 years experience working in high-profile, world-renowned media – including BBC, ITV, Channel 4, BFBS, Immedia, Newsquest and Trinity Mirror - and 10 years on the other side of the fence, telling stories from a business/brand perspective reaching hundreds of thousands of readers.

I've written for every type of audience in print publications and online from large and national – BBC News, Daily Mail, The Guardian, The Telegraph, Glamour Magazine, Good Housekeeping, Psychologies, Men’s Health – to more niche, targeted markets.

And I’ve created content for global brands - Nissan, Remington, Shell – to start-ups, SMEs and everything in between. 

The thread running through all my writing - it's content that connects.
