About me

I'm an ambitious and experienced journalist, content editor and senior sub-editor. I have a wealth of journalism experience having working in BBC News Online for three years.

I also have experience in other areas such as music, fashion, arts and entertainment. Most recently I have been working on the BBC's Olympics website.

I'm a social media expert having managed the BBC Olympics Facebook and Twitter accounts.

In Radio I've worked for BBC 6 Music, as a BBC Introducing presenter, breakfast, mid-morning and drive time producer.

I have also worked as a video producer for BBC Radio 1 at Hackney Weekend.

My passions in life are music and writing. I love going to gigs and festivals as well as raising money for charity through exercise.
