About

Having completed a master’s programme in International Journalism from Cardiff University in 2022, I have written about various subjects including culture, politics, social justice, mental health, LGBTQ+ issues and gender. My undergraduate degree in life sciences has equipped me to explore my passion for reporting on health, science and the environment. When I’m not transcribing interviews and fretting about deadlines, I like to spend my time reading, watching movies, and making lousy mixtapes for a potential side career in rap music.
