About Me

I work as a Live News Reporter for Newsweek, reporting on news across the globe and the US, specialising in health policy, issues and insurance.

I completed my fast-track NCTJ with gold-standard at News Associates, and graduated from Durham University with a BA degree in Liberal Arts (English Literature and Philosophy).

Previously, I worked as a digital journalist at News UK, a Senior Political and Media Consultant for the Bridgehead Group, and was also Co-Editor for Comment Central. I have also written for the Metro, Byline Times and The Express as a freelancer. 



While training with News Associates, I worked as a reporter for The Londoners, and as a news-reader, presenter, producer and reporter at Riverside Radio.


I previously worked as Assistant Editor of Beau Monde Media's Ski Luxe Magazine and as the UK and Middle Eastern Correspondent for the Human Perspective.
