I'm a freelance feature writer and news and business journalist currently based in London.
I'm a former staff writer at the Independent, where I was a business specialist, and the Press Association, where I covered breaking news on everything from crime and politics to showbiz and the Royal Family.

My work has also been published in the Independent on Sunday, the Daily Mirror, the Daily Mail, BBC online, the Times, the Daily Telegraph, the Financial Times, the London Evening Standard, City AM, the Daily Express, Cosmopolitan, M magazine, Mainichi newspaper, Global Reinsurance and Arabian Insurance Review.

I am passionate about learning about different cultures and languages. I speak Japanese and French and have lived in Tokyo and Paris. Last summer I returned from the Middle East where I had been living for 18 months. I helped launch the National, the first newspaper in Abu Dhabi, as a senior feature writer, before moving to the more cosmopolitan Dubai.

You can find a selection of my articles on the site which reflect my diverse interests ranging from news features, business analysis, real life, interviews and travel.

I also work as a media consultant and advise companies and PR teams on campaigns, launches and press releases. If you would like further information on this, or would like to commission me, please drop me a line.
