I’m a Journalist specialising in food and drink, travel and design writing. I am also the founder and editor of NRTH LASS magazine, which celebrates the achievements of women in the North of England.
I hold a degree in International History & Politics from The University of Leeds and have worked in a number of media, publishing and communications roles with the likes of Thomson Reuters, The Hut Group and Sleeper Media.
In 2017 I founded the print magazine and online community platform NRTH LASS with my friend and colleague Jessica Howell, which has been featured in publications including Positive News and Creative Boom and led to partnerships with BBC and Giffgaff.
I am the former Editor at Supper magazine, a publication focusing on hotel F&B, which looks at the latest food-focused hotel openings, trends in the world of hospitality and insights from leading chefs, mixologists and designers.
