About

I’m a journalist and writer based in Manchester, with strong news and feature writing skills, a careful eye for detail, and a passion for uncovering stories that feel true to real people and communities. I love turning coverage into clear, engaging copy that works for both readers and editors.

I also bring multimedia journalism skills to the table, including video editing for social platforms, so my work can live beyond the page. Alongside my writing, I focus on digital literacy and SEO, producing succinct, optimised content under tight deadlines while staying consistent with the voice of each publication.
