curriculum vitae

I’m a freelance journalist and stylist plus a second year student on the BA (Hons) fashion journalism degree at London College of Fashion.

I’m an incredibly driven and reliable person, having withheld a number of internships and freelance writing jobs. I have written for VOGUE.CO.UK, Not Just a Label, Pigeons and Peacocks and The Wild Magazine with fashion week coverage for StyleFan and PYLOT magazine. I am a member of the National Union of Journalists and I’m certified to practice Teeline Shorthand at a speed of 90 words per minute.

I also work as both an independent stylist and as an assistant on a number of celebrity projects as well as working as a member of the blog team for model Emma Miller. I have experience in a number of sectors of the fashion industry, including photography, creative direction, social media, fashion retail, broadcast and graphic design.

I’m always willing to learn and improve on existing skills. I pride myself on being hardworking and organised at all times.
