Work history

Newsletter and Events Editor, Time Out LondonTime Out Group
Nov 2021London, United Kingdom
Having freelanced regularly at Time Out London since July 2019, I joined the company in November 2021 as the sole editor responsible for the magazine's Things to Do section, which encompassed a section in the fortnightly print magazine and a suite of core list features on the Time Out London website. With the print magazine retired in June 2022, I was tasked with launching and editing the brand's exciting new daily editorial newsletter Out Here alongside continuing to edit the Things to Do section online. I have also had the privilege of orchestrating several recent cover features, including Time Out's first two digital-only covers, our Pride issue with Munroe Bergdorf and our celebration of the Women's Euros featuring Alex Scott.
