About me

With a wealth of experience at national media organisations across various disciplines and sectors, I am a qualified journalist and digital content producer with a broad range of skills. 


I have an indelible passion for storytelling in many forms, while also being proficient at the technical aspects of communicating. Whether it’s short, punchy copy for consumer magazines or online platforms, or long-form documentary features about cultural issues, I have worked across many types of content and media. 


The single aspect that ties together all of my skills is the ability to tease out a story, give it the treatment it deserves that is fitting of the platform, and drive the right sort of attention to it. The compelling angle always comes first for me. 


A previous role I held at Premier Christian Media, one of the biggest Christian media organisation in the UK, exemplifies the depth I’m able to offer an organisation. While there, I was writing, commissioning, proofreading and editing features as well as compiling the company's largest weekly e-newsletter. Effectively maintaining and uploading content to the company's homepage, and affiliate sites (using the CMS program EZ) were other aspects of my job. I also looked for opportunities to expand my role by producing on-air features and documentaries for the company’s video and social platforms. 


My editorial rigour has enabled me to successfully write insightful content for various well-regarded national publications. These include Black Beauty and Hair magazine, the UK’s best-selling magazine for black readers, where I currently write news and features on beauty and entertainment, and carry out interviews with influencers in the beauty scene. I’ve also worked for Christianity Magazine, Pride Magazine, Valour, and Keep the Faith magazine. 


Working for the Metro showcased my skillset in video production. My responsibilities in this role included researching stories for news, entertainment and sport, and producing short videos for social media. I have a good working knowledge of WordPress, and the Adobe CC programs Photoshop and Premiere Pro as a result. 


Finally, I’m well versed in using social media platforms Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to promote content and engage audiences. In my previous positions, I used Google Analytics, as well as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter’s analytics, to assess audience engagement on the content that worked (as well as the content that didn’t). This was helpful in shaping the subsequent content we produced.
