Available to hire
I’m an award-winning former Financial Times journalist and communications professional, now also an accomplished TV presenter and live host. With a strong track record of impactful journalism across print, digital, and radio, I have a deep understanding of news and storytelling. I have also achieved widespread media coverage as head of PR for two financial firms, demonstrating a consistent ability to deliver results and generate standout narratives.
A natural communicator with charisma and energy, I thrive in live environments—on camera or in front of an audience—and am confident presenting, moderating panels, and hosting global events. My editorial judgement is first-class, and I excel at finding and developing exclusive, original stories through strong relationship-building and insightful interviews. I bring speed, precision, and creativity to everything I do, underpinned by solid legal and compliance knowledge in the media landscape. Whether delivering breaking news live, conducting high-level interviews, or managing strategic communications, I bring clarity, imagination, and impact to every platform. My passion for people, sharp news sense, and commitment to quality make me a valuable asset in any newsroom or corporate setting.
