I’m a journalist with more than 10 years experience in writing, editing and commissioning.
I was formerly Head of Social and Communities at the Guardian and have a background in audience engagement, community management and social media. I deliver consultancy and training in these areas.
Worked in the FT’s newsroom as part of its audience team to research and produce a proposal for a new editorial project.
Interviewed mapmakers from National Geographic and Open Street Map and other cartography experts to find out who redraws the maps when our climate changes.
Working with Storycycle and the British Embassy in Nepal I devised and delivered training for two groups of local journalists on social media storytelling, newsgathering and verification.
This video gives a glimpse of work I did at the Guardian, where I developed social media and engagement strategies for the newsroom, launched new products and managed a team.
As a freelancer, I've trained BBC and Financial Times journalists in writing for social media, and journalists in Nepal in digital storytelling and verifying third-party content. I've also written for multiple publications and edited for the World Economic Forum. I've worked as a consultant with the European Journalism Centre, The Week UK and international charity Theirworld on social media and community building strategies.
