Writer

I love to write, despite the fact I rarely get paid to do so (yet!).

I specialise in long-form features, letting my curiosity and interests lead the way. No theme is too big or small; I like to take an irreverant look at serious issues and an earnest approach with frivolous topics. I think the best writing switches between hyper-specific personal and local details and a zoomed-out, bigger-picture perspective. That’s always what I aspire to achieve.

I’ve contributed to a variety of small publications and outlets, and have also published various articles on Substack.

Here is a small selection of pieces I’m particularly proud of:
