About

Hey! I'm a journalist and editor, specialising in health. I currently serve as Health Editor at Women's Health UK, looking after digital and print content. I commission, edit and write about topics like what the so-called 'psychedelic renaissance' means for women, the happiness potential of less conventional relationships, the future of genetically modified food, how hormonal changes can play with your sleep and the ways in which vaccine disinformation spreads. While working at HuffPost UK I founded the sustainable living microsite HuffPost Sourced. This was after being selected via a company-wide pitch process to launch a new sub-brand. Prior to this, I was Digital Living Editor at Red, and on the online team at Esquire, before that. I'm well-versed in hosting – having interviewed talent live on camera for BUILD LDN – as well as in face-to-face interviewing celebrities and experts. I trained on City University's Magazine Journalism MA and have a BA from the University of Manchester, where I was fashion editor of The Mancunion, Britain's largest student newspaper.
