Online & Print Journalist

I’m a proven reporter both for print and online publications, having now worked at the FT, BBC online, the i and the Independent, alongside selling freelance articles to the Sun, the Times, the Daily Mail, the Telegraph, the Daily Star, Emerging Market Views, City AM and African Energy. On three separate days in 2020, I wrote the most-read article on the BBC News website. I also made regular contributions to the BBC News live page and have helped write detailed briefs for correspondents across BBC News’ specialist teams.
