About Me

‘Who the heck is she?’
I am a freelance journalist from Manchester.
Although I’m still at sixth form, it means I’m able to scribble about things others can’t. Take my recent article at The Independent as an example. Peering into life at Eton was only possible due to my age. Fear not, however - I am legally an adult.
I am available to review and discuss opportunities for ‘the yoof’, providing a unique insight into today’s teenagers.
‘Er, yeh, but does she have any experience?’
Working with the BBC Blast team on their Youth Panel has cemented my familiarity in Youth Arts, building upon experience at Manchester Art Gallery’s team and a couple of weeks’ hard graft in Education and Membership departments at The Poetry Society last summer.
See my CV/ résumé here.
‘What else?’
I’m particularly interested in travel (read: I want to travel!), which is eased by my ability to converse in French and German as well as English.
I recently returned back from an Anglo-French fellowship project with the British Council, where I spent two weeks researching near Bordeaux. More to come on this soon!
You can get in touch with me here, and find more examples of my work here.
