I am a freelance journalist reporting on everything from drug policy and industrial action to health and fitness. What unites all of my work is a commitment to compassionate, nuanced and accurate reporting. I have bylines in The New Statesman, Prospect Magazine, The Guardian, Observer Magazine, Women’s Health, Dazed and more. I currently work as a social media editor for The Lead, and I also post sporadically on Substack.
I am the co-founder and editor of Ordinary, an independent counterculture magazine and community rooted in connection, gratitude, self-knowing and the beauty of everyday life.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me shooting film, dancing and practising Brazilian jiu jitsu.
