A trained news journalist (NCTJ), I combined my staff job on a Greater London local paper with news shifts at The Independent until I made the move into national magazines in May 2006. I began shifting for various women’s weeklies and became a regular on the features desks of Bella, Best, Woman’s Own and Woman.

At the start of 2007 I took up a position as acting senior writer at Woman’s Own and stayed there until November when I left to become a full-time freelance journalist.

Publications I have written for include:

The Independent (news) The Independent on Sunday (features) Talk of the Town (Independent on Sunday) Celebs on Sunday (Sunday Mirror) Woman SHE Closer Woman’s Own Junior Practical Parenting Infant and Birth Geographical Bella Best Pick me up Limited Edition Magazine
