About

Dynamic newsroom leader with a decade of experience at the  Guardian, adept at steering fast‑moving national and international coverage while helping shape long‑term storytelling projects. As an assistant national news editor and night editor, I have experience both of setting daily agendas and reacting to late developments, while directing multi‑platform teams and safeguarding editorial accuracy. A diligent, reliable and methodical worker with excellent editorial, leadership and organisational skills, I deliver engaging journalism while working to tight deadlines and making decisions quickly, calmly and decisively in high pressure situations.
