Apparently I was one of those annoying children that asks questions all the time and a few years on, nothing much has changed - except now I get paid for it!  

Since going freelance in 2005 I have written for a wide range of publications from The Times to Take A Break; and my first book "Gap Years: The Essential Guide" was published by Forward Press in November 2009.

I love the variety of topics and styles that I get to work on, which over the years have ranged from business and careers to relationships, real life and travel. More recently I have been concerntrating on my interest in the charity and international development sector.

Over the past few years I have used my skills and experience as a journalist to provide PR services for NGOS, working as Africa press officer for Plan International and writing press materials for UN agency, The International Trade Centre.

I also regularly teach a variety of writing and media courses at London College of Media and Journalism as well as taking on work for commercial clients.

When I'm not busy with work you will generally find me cooking, dancing or planning my next travels, or any combination of the three!
