I’m an experienced journalist, content creator, and producer with over a decade of professional writing and storytelling experience across international media, research led projects, and cause driven work. I qualified as an NCTJ trained journalist in 2015 and have worked as a freelance reporter for outlets including The Economist, The Guardian, and The Telegraph, producing clear, engaging content under tight deadlines and complex editorial briefs. I also hold a Master’s degree in International Relations and Global Issues, which underpins my ability to research deeply, contextualise information, and translate complex topics into accessible narratives. My work has expanded beyond traditional journalism into content strategy, podcasting, documentary storytelling, and data informed projects. I’ve contributed to initiatives such as the BBC’s 50:50 The Equality Project and worked with NGOs including unconnected.org, combining qualitative research, interviews, data collection, and creative production. I am a fluent Spanish speaker with extensive experience working across Latin America and in multilingual environments. Having lived and worked in multiple countries, I bring a global perspective and strong interpersonal skills to every project, whether long form writing, audio production, voiceover work, or shaping content strategy. In recent years, my reporting has included on the ground investigations into security, politics, and organised crime in Latin America. I’m particularly well suited to projects that value strong research, human storytelling, clarity of voice, and thoughtful production, from written content and podcasts to documentary and narrative driven media. I’m happy to collaborate on short or long term projects and am always open to discussing new briefs.
