After I returned from Latin America, I headed to London's City University and received my MA (Distinction) in International Journalism in 2016. I specialised in features and foreign correspondence, and excelled at media law and ethics – although my professor found me "killingly funny". I then interned as the EU referendum coordinator for the Foreign Press Association. That led to contributing a key interview to All Out War, the first book in Tim Shipman's Brexit trilogy. I have since contributed to the second and third installations.
Next, I assisted The Sunday Times' Insight team in investigating Premier League tax evasion, before I joined The Independent as a reporter and then a sub-editor. I became one of the first journalists to cover the vaginal mesh scandal, called the worst since thalidomide. In 2018, I began my editor traineeship at The Times, where I received my media law qualification.
I then returned to freelancing, working as a commissioning editor for Metro's opinion section, a copyeditor for Foreign Policy and a subeditor for New Statesman and The Guardian. I have written or edited for The Times and Sunday Times, The Independent, New Statesman, Foreign Policy, The Guardian and The Observer, The Sun, HuffPost, The Telegraph, Cosmo and others. There's a good chance I've tried the coffee in your newsroom.
