Hi,

Currently, I’m covering breaking news across London titles for Newsquest including the News Shopper, Ham&High, Romford Recorder, Brent and Kilburn Times, Harrow Times, Islington Gazette, Barnet Times and Enfield Independent.

In total these are 22 titles.

My day-to-day involves finding and reporting on breaking news across the capital before other news institutions – juggling through many live-blogs, breaking stories and verifying and sharing the information that matters to the public.

I also spend a lot of time organising the social media posts for my stories.

But there’s a lot more to me than just my professional life, I promise.

I’m an avid video game enthusiast, and love to spend hours of downtime after work immersing myself in beautifully crafted virtual worlds for me to explore.

I also have a keen interest in watching films – here’s where my Odeon Limitless membership comes in handy – along with keeping up-to-date with general entertainment news and pop-culture.

Admittedly, I’d also call myself a big tech-head. When I’m not splurging money on the latest gadgets and devices for myself, I’ll always be reading up and learning more about all products due to be released.

Friends of mine would call me quite chatty and approachable – but it often baffles them how I’m able to juggle between an active social life along with my hard-working attitude to work and busy schedule as a journalist.

This is just a quick glimpse into who I am, but I’ve put together this portfolio website to showcase just some of my work.
