the stories i write.


Cultural commentary is my favourite thing to write. I’m endlessly nosy about how people are behaving, what everyone’s suddenly doing and what it says about us, and I love digging into the why.

Alongside that I write lifestyle pieces, longer features and first-person opinion, usually about women, work, health, money and the media.

Bylines in Forbes, Vogue, The Sunday Times, Stylist, Cosmopolitan, The Independent, BBC Good Food, Sky News, the Evening Standard, Refinery29, Sheerluxe, The Media Leader, Culture Trip and House of Coco.
