Hello! I’m a freelance journalist and copywriter in Carlisle, Cumbria with bylines in the UK national press, international outlets, and all over the web.
I work with charities, content agencies and everyone in between. As well as freelance news and features, I create web content, how-to guides and blog posts. I can lead print and digital projects from conception to launch, on time and to budget. See my portfolio or Get in touch!
What I do
I specialise in turning tricky subjects into fun, helpful or engaging content. For instance, I demystify personal finance, banking products and student finance: it’s money without the migraine.
