About
I’m a former librarian who has transitioned into freelance writing and editing. I currently contribute lifestyle and culture pieces focusing on film, TV, and life as a stay-at-home dad to The Irish Times and Business Post. I also maintain a recurring column called “Being Dad” for The Irish Times Health and Family supplement and have written on a variety of topics, from video games to audio book production.
With a strong background in research and editorial consultancy, I’ve contributed to several travel guides and magazines, bringing a keen eye for detail and storytelling to my work. I enjoy sharing insights into culture and family life, combining my editorial skills with personal experience.
