After 4+ amazing years, I am leaving @HuffPostUK and going freelance.
It feels so strange to exit after not seeing dear colleagues in person for more than a year, but the past 14 months have definitely prepared me well for going solo. 1/

My proudest moments include writing about my mental health and living alone in lockdown, launching The Brightside newsletter, showcasing our original journalism and working with some of the best, funniest and kindest journalists I’ve ever met and am privileged to call my friends.
I’ve also enjoyed working on journalism that gives voice to underrepresented communities and holds the powerful to account.

Interviews, people-led features, mental health and books are some of my main areas of interest and expertise. I have worked as a social media and audience editor for more than 4 years, worked at @PA for more than 3 years and was a local news reporter before that.
