Born in the UK, I'm currently based in Los Angeles and regularly travel to Asia for research. I'm a professional writer, script writer, and photographer with over six years of experience writing engaging and informative content.

My specialisms include travel writing with a focus on Japan and the UK, arts and culture, including book and theatre reviews, food writing, and immigration. 

I craft engaging and thoroughly researched articles, itineraries, scripts, SEO-optimized blog posts, and social media content. See more of my published writing here. This includes internal linking and a round of edits if needed. I'm also an experienced editor and web publisher.

My work has been featured in publications such as DK, TripAdvisor, The Culture Trip, Fodors Travel, and TripSavvy. I'm passionate about using my writing skills to tell stories, inform audiences, and connect people.
