After studying for my NCTJ in newspaper journalism in Liverpool, I pursued a newspaper career with the Manchester Evening News group, covering local news and writing features on local issues, travel and lifestyle. In 2009 I picked up the 02 Features Writer of the Year Award and the following year, I moved to London, to work on the features desks of various consumer women's magazines, covering real-life features and lifestyle. ​

​

Between 2013 and 2014, I took a short break from freelance life to work as a brand journalist for Virgin Holidays where I honed a variety of skills in branded travel content production, website content production, travel blogging, social media content production, tone of voice work and the production of a wide variety of travel marketing collateral. Since then, I have continued to freelance across travel and lifestyle publications and provided copywriting and content writing services to a range of clients. I am also in the process of writing my first collection of children’s story books. Watch this space.
