I'm a journalist with extensive experience across automotive, music, popular culture, entertainment, lifestyle, technology and travel publications. I’ve worked on major international titles in consumer, B2B and contract publishing, including editor-in-chief roles. I’ve lived and worked abroad and thrive in fast-paced environments that demand high editorial standards and strategic thinking. Beyond producing standout content, I excel at the administrative and management side, mentoring editors, coordinating awards, managing budgets and collaborating closely with sales teams. I’m a confident communicator who builds strong rapport with colleagues and has a track record of interviewing CTOs, engineers, scientists and academics, moderating panels, and appearing on podcasts. I’m passionate about driving the evolution of print and online titles while keeping a hands-on approach to storytelling.
