I’m a content producer with 5 years of experience creating and managing digital content across high-profile organisations in the arts and sciences.
I previously trained as a journalist at Cardiff University (MA International Journalism, Distinction) specialising in documentary filmmaking, and wrote freelance features for the likes of The Independent, Metro, i-D and Cosmopolitan before turning my attention to brand comms.

I also recently took a career break to backpack from Mexico City to Lima. Here are (just a few) of the highlights, through the lens of my Fujifilm…
Mexico City
The first stop was a paradise for lovers of food and art (and I am both). What an introduction to Latin America.
Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu
74km through some pretty tough terrain and challenging altitude – all worth it for the incredible views and for reaching a wonder of the world at the end.
Colombia’s coffee region
Coffee tours, horseriding and meeting the loveliest people across Jardín and Salento.
I stayed on one of the floating islands made out of totora, an aquatic plant, by the indigenous Uros people. Here’s my host Leo showing me how he harvests it.
