Biography

I am a fashion and lifestyle journalist, content creator and freelance writer passionate about the intersection between fashion and social issues, feminism, politics and activism, sustainability in fashion, 'green' beauty and feminist literature. Currently I write for various publications day-to-day as a content writer and freelance in my spare time. I have written for Refinery29, Grazia, The Daily Mirror, Gay Times, Sabat and more. I have also interned at Refinery29, enki magazine, Aesthetica and the British Museum. I am also a graduate of the London College of Fashion where I achieved a Distinction in the Fashion Journalism MA and founded my magazine, The Activist (about women and non-binary people in politics and protest) as my final MA project. Before this I studied English and Classics at the University of Birmingham. I am open to staff writer and editorial assistant jobs, and to freelance writing opportunities. Please do get in contact if you are interested in hiring me.
