I am a gold-standard NCTJ-qualified journalist with a first-class BA (Hons) in Multimedia Journalism from News Associates. I am passionate about bringing news to the best city in the world. I am particularly interested in reporting on local affairs, untold stories, and music from Manchester.

This led me to found the Manchester music magazine 33-RPM, which champions key industry players and emerging artists through features, spotlights, and reviews.

My work at GigPig ensured that I wrote music news on a national level. Here, I have written editorial pieces highlighting issues around merchandise commissions and the reality of the cost-of-living for emerging artists. Additionally, I have crafted pieces for their social media and further expanded my experience. 

I published a variety of multimedia pieces of journalism, including podcasts surrounding the music scene within Manchester and video pieces, highlighting the performers at the Edinburgh Fringe in the North West. I have experience in writing investigative-style pieces, where I reported on the final missing victim of the Moors Murder case with an interview from his family lawyer, John Ainley, and uncovered the amount of legal aid received from James Bulger's killers.
