Multimedia Journalist
I have significant experience in some of the UK’s most high-pressured print and broadcast newsrooms. I currently work as a reporter at the Financial Times. Before joining the FT, I worked across BBC online, radio and TV, doing original reporting and helping to produce output. I’ve also worked at the i and sold freelance articles to a host of UK publications, including the Daily Mail, the Telegraph and the Independent. I started out as a communications specialist at Luxus Worldwide before moving into journalism. My areas of interest in news are home affairs, business, technology, politics and public policy.
