I'm a versatile journalist and editor, currently working as a Multimedia Journalist for The National in Glasgow. I produce written and video packages for audiences across a range of platforms, and I manage social media content to maximise engagement. I have hands-on experience with Adobe Premiere Pro and Canva, and I strive to tell compelling stories with accurate research and clear editing. Previously I was Life and Culture Editor for The New Feminist, focusing on identity, LGBTQIA+ topics and online culture. I developed editorial skills and SEO optimization while editing life and culture content; I also led interview-driven features and built a strong portfolio of long-form pieces. I have also contributed to The Gaudie Student Newspaper as Head Editor for Features and Deputy for Opinion, and I spent a summer as a Project Assistant with SHMU in Aberdeen, gaining practical experience in community media production and event planning.
