About me

I am a New Zealand-born, Berlin-based writer and editor specialising in art, culture and travel. After completing my law and politics degrees at Sciences Po in Paris, I managed PR and New Business at Wieden+Kennedy London for two years before focusing on journalism as Senior Editor at the award-winning online magazine iGNANT. The digital media skill set I've cultivated throughout includes short- and long-form journalism, copywriting, editing and translation (German and French into English) and social media strategy, as well as image creation and curation. I am currently available for editorial and commercial freelance writing, editing or translation work.
