A BSME-nominated journalist and editor with 15 years’ features experience in national and international lifestyle publications, including Tempus and HELLO!.

As editorial director at Vantage, I manage a talented team of writers, editors, designers and commercial team-members, directing the company’s growth strategy while ensuring world-class content is delivered to a diverse range of clients and projects. As editor-in-chief of Tempus, London’s award-nominated luxury lifestyle magazine, I oversee all aspects of editorial production, from content planning and commissioning to design and distribution, and securing exclusive interviews with some of the world’s best-known names for print and digital.

I also have extensive experience as a presenter and host, having moderated live celebrity panels and interviews for national events and conventions, as well as appearing as a commentator for TV, radio, and podcasts. I am proud to serve as a Trustee of the NCTJ and as Chair of the Accreditation Board, supporting the training of young journalists from diverse backgrounds.
