ABOUT ME
I cut my teeth in journalism in Dubai's publishing houses, rising through the ranks to editor before moving to freelance work in 2010 with a return to the UK.
​
Now based in Bristol, UK I specialise in travel and business but pride myself on flexibility. Whether demystifying the science of PTA plastic or exploring the historic context of Queen Victoria's serpent engagement ring, I can turn out robust, accurate copy on any subject.
In 2017 I published a new travel guide with Alastair Sawday, The Extra Mile, to save motorists from grim motorway services. My work has been published in Time Out Dubai, Bristol24/7, Business Traveller Middle East and Brownbook, and I've penned commercial copy, press releases, web content and blogs for many more (among them Business Fights Poverty, BP, Bristol City Council, BNP Paribas and i-escape).
