I'm the senior staff writer at The Week, specialising in world news and culture. I also appear every week on our podcast, The Week Unwrapped, discussing under-the-radar stories with big implications. My weekly Global Digest newsletter has been nominated twice for a Publisher Newsletter Award.

Before joining The Week, I was a freelance journalist with an expansive beat — the more quirky and offbeat the story, the better. I was awarded a unique journalist-at-large fellowship by the charity Local Trust, travelling to some of England's most deprived areas to write about underreported communities.

I am available for broadcast and panel appearances, particularly those about gender equality. I contributed eight chapters for DK's book of feminism and attended the 67th Commission on the Status of Women as a UN Women UK delegate. My first novel, a feminist retelling of the wives of Henry VIII, is available here.
