Thanks for visiting.
I’m a digital marketer turned NCTJ-qualified journalist who has written features about taxidermy horse heads, high-tech cars, and ‘lonely’ deaths. Currently I’m juggling hospitality shifts with freelancing.
When I’m not working, I can usually be found trying to get through my stash of paperbacks or digging through the British Newspaper Archive (for fun!) I’m currently researching the life of a female Salvationist who made headlines in 1955. I’m a volunteer content writer at Legasee (the veterans video archive), which preserves the oral histories of British military veterans.
As an international adoptee, I’m slowly starting the process of finding my birth family. That’s another story entirely, but it involves the Khmer Rouge, an orphanage, and a box of newspaper clippings.
I’m based in Manchester, UK.
