Nothing but a story.

 

Hello there,

I am a multimedia journalist with a specialism in financial news.

I have worked for the Financial Times, BBC, The Times and more.

Currently working for the B2B publication Little Black Book, I know my way around company, accounts, creative work and agencies.

Over the course of my career, I have worked internationally and have covered different regions of the world.

That is why I have experience working and reporting on Germany, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

During my Global Financial Journalism MA at City University, I also specialised in reporting on US and Asian markets and reporting on the Middle East.

I am a multimedia storyteller. I am skilled in using print, online publications, audio, video or social media.

As a staple of the BBC Question Time and Debate Night social media team, I enjoy fast-paced social media reporting and live coverage.

Anyways, that is enough bla bla about what I have been up to. If you wanna know more, check out my CV.

  • I hum or sing something all the time, even in my sleep

  • I am addicted to tea (especially jasmine)

  • I am well-known for asking deep questions all the time because I love people but despise small talk
