I am a journalist and communications/content editor/manager based in London, the former Digital Content Editor of Ctrl.Alt.Shift (Christian Aid's youth political and social issue magazine), former Senior Content and Community manager for Livity (working specifically on Spinebreakers, somewhereto_ and Live Mag UK) - currently working as Communications Manager at Excellent Development (a charity supporting communities in countries such as Kenya, India, Mozambique and Zimbabwe to transform their lives with sand dams). In the past I have freelanced for the likes of RWD, the Guardian, The Independent, MTV Staying Alive (and others). I have also been a part-time mentor for young writers at Interact Magazine, an advisor in the ‘Platforma Arts and Refugees Network’ London hub, a mentor for Channel 4's Battlefront campaigners, and one of the directors of the Youth-led Media Network (now the Youth Media Agency). In 2011, I was a London360 blogger for Media Trust's Community Channel, represented as a social reporter at the 2011 London Youth Policy Symposium, and was on the drafting committee representing as a delegate at the UNAIDS Youth Summit On HIV in Mali. On my travels, I have provided global and social news reports from the Democratic Republic of Congo, to Kenya and Vancouver. Currently I am also a trustee for the Youth Media Agency, adviser for SetOff Magazine and Pepper Kitchen.
