I'm a freelance journalist and multimedia producer based in London.

I work principally in audio, though my professional background includes video (self-shooting and desk producing). I have also worked as a print journalist.I completed City University's MA in investigative journalism and Associated Press' Global News trainee scheme, both in 2017. I grew up partially in France and speak French.

I was a finalist in the Whickers audio award 2022 for a podcast pitch about my grandparents' escape from Nazi-occupied France during WWII.Since 2017, I have produced, assistant produced or associate produced podcasts for, among others, iHeart, the BBC World Service, Sony, BBC Radio 3 and Radio 4, Audible, Campside Media and the Financial Times.

I completed the Screenskills Producer-Director course with DV Talent, shooting on Sony FX6 and FS7, and made a short film about a group of pigeon rescuers. I have previously shot on Panasonics (for Associated Press), a Sony Alpha (for three films I made for the Jo Cox foundation) and my trusty Canon.

I pitched, co-produced and co-hosted The Mystic and the Mayor podcast, currently on Wondery. As of January 2025, I’ve been working two days a week as a podcast producer for the Tax Justice Network.

I'm particularly keen to work on long-form narrative and investigative projects, and this year I'd like to increase my broadcast shooting experience too. 

I set up and run Queer Platonic Coparenting, a community group that introduces potential platonic coparents to each other. I was diagnosed as autistic in 2024. I was a co-host of a women's chat podcast for 15 years.
