Hello.

I’m a journalist writing and broadcasting on BBC Newsbeat, BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra’s news service for 16 to 25-year-olds.

Before July 2018, I was a freelancer, writing for BBC Newsbeat and writing and editing for two different parts of the Guardian: the G2 (features section) and Guardian Students. Judge Rinder once threatened to sue me.
