WRITING WORK 

Freelance journalist and Editor with 15 years' experience working in the media industry at every level. 

I started off my career in local news before working for national newspapers, magazines and websites. Career highlights include stints as a Court Reporter at the Old Bailey, News Editor at ITV News and Audience Editor for MailOnline, the world’s most-read news website. 

I had the longest-running column in More! magazine, The Secret Life of an Online Dater. I'm a regular Showbiz Reporter at The Mirror and have written freelance articles for The Telegraph, Fabulous magazine, Refinery29 and Metro, among others. 

After several years reviewing restaurants and hotels for luxury lifestyle magazines, I founded The Boutique Handbook digital magazine in January 2021.
