I’m a writer and First Class Honours Journalism (BA) graduate from London College of Communication, UAL, with an insatiable curiosity and desire to start conversations about contemporary human issues.
My writing ranges from features about philosophy, feminism, social justice, nature, death and mental health, to corporate copy for various companies such as graphene company Paragraf, tech startup Multiplii, and creative community SuperHi.
I'm also the founder of Cringe, an independent magazine exploring shame and self-consciousness through writing and art,
and co-founder of Seriously Human, a journalistic project that told the stories of Covid-19 against the framework of human rights during the pandemic.
