About me
I’m a Production Editor at Young Post, a daily teen newspaper belonging to the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong. I edit print and digital copy and create original content for both platforms. I also oversee a writing competition for readers twice a year, liaise with various student contributors and help maintain a strong social media presence.
Previously, I spent two years teaching English as a Foreign Language in China, Singapore and Hong Kong.
I graduated from the University of Southampton with a BA in English Literature.
I am an imaginative, detail-orientated person with a passion for using words and language creatively.
Beyond my professional life, I’m interested in social issues, particularly those related to women’s rights, the environment, and mental health.
