Hello

After graduating with a Media and Communication degree in 2015, I decided I wanted to venture into the journalism industry as it had always been a dream of mine to be a journalist and eventually an author (which is something I'm still working towards - watch this space). I wrote articles and blogs for start up magazines, interning at London Collections: Menswear and London Fashion Week for various fashion arts magazines before securing my first paid commissioned piece at Black Ballad in 2016.

 

 Whilst in my second year at University, I managed to network my way into an internship at Bauer Media. While striving for full-time journalism positions after graduation, I encountered a few setbacks and came to realise that pursuing journalism as a full-time career might not provide the financial stability I desired. So, I made a conscious choice to pursue freelance journalism on a part-time basis while simultaneously building a full-time career in public relations, an area that had sparked my interest during my time at University.

 

Over the past six years, I've managed to juggle a full-time job while pursuing my passion as a freelance journalist. It's been a wild ride, but I've had the incredible opportunity to write features, opinion pieces, and interviews for a range of international news platforms and magazines. My bylines include: STYLIST, POPSUGAR, Daily Dot, The Independent, Metro UK, iNews, Cosmopolitan, Refinery29, HuffPost, Bustle, Gal-dem, The Face, Business Insider, Hackney Gazette, and The Voice Newspaper.

​

In parallel, my career in public relations kicked off as an intern at Frank PR, which paved the way for subsequent roles and growth within the industry. I climbed the ladder, ultimately securing my first official position as a Media Officer at a national non-profit organisation. It was during this time that my passion for non-profit public relations flourished. Whilst working as a Press Officer, at global non-profit Internews, I secured my first part-time freelance pr gig with Coldr  as a freelance communications associate, where I came up with  and pitch earned media ideas to national and lifestyle titles for clients such as eBay UK and Pinterest. Today, I am proud to be part of Friends of the Earth as a Stories Manager, where I oversee the strategic management of captivating narratives.

​

 I am deeply passionate about  storytelling, journalism and public relations, and I am grateful for the diverse opportunities and experiences that have shaped my professional journey thus far. While I embrace being a multi-hyphenate, I prioritize my mental well-being above all else, ensuring that I never take on more than I can handle.
