A Little About Me

I’m a passionate storyteller with a love for all things sports, film, current affairs and entertainment. With over eight years of experience in the fast-paced world of media, I’ve worn many hats— editor, journalist, social media whiz, and yes, even video editor!

You might have seen my byline at major sports and entertainment outlets like MovieWeb, GiveMeSport, and The Sport Bible (part of the Lad Bible group). From covering the glitz and glamour of the London Film Festival to reporting on the thrill of Football, Boxing, and Rugby, I’ve tackled it all with enthusiasm and a keen eye for detail.

From flexing my creative muscles as a freelance film critic and features writer, diving deep into the latest releases and industry trends, to becoming a pro at SEO and social media optimisation—because what’s a great story if nobody sees it?

Armed with a degree in Media and Journalism and years of hands-on experience, I bring a unique blend of creativity, technical know-how, and industry insight to every project. Whether I’m crafting compelling articles, managing digital communities, or editing eye-catching videos, I’m always on the lookout for the next big story.
