I am a qualified journalist with 30 years’ experience in the profession. This is a personal blog / portfolio site.

I have worked in the UK and overseas as a news reporter, business editor, sub-editor, travel writer, feature writer and columnist.

I graduated with a First Class degree in English Language and Media from the University of Brighton in July 2019 as a mature student.

From March to August 2020 I voluntarily ran a temporary hyperlocal news site https://burgesshillbugle.co.uk/ featuring news, interviews and takeaway listings during the first Covid lockdown in Mid Sussex.

It was niche, but handy if you live here – or at least 18,000 readers seemed to think so
