JOURNALIST

Before I even graduated from the London School of Economics and Political Science, I knew I wanted a job writing. Looking back, I can see that my underlying interest in real people and every aspect of their lives has been linked to my dream-plan to tell my own stories. Lifestyle journalism has not only been fascinating and fun, it’s also been great training for the other writing I do.

The following list happens to coincide roughly with what I’ve done chronologically, starting from the present.
