I’m a freelance journalist based between Edinburgh and London, who writes about music, culture and climate change.
You’ll regularly find my byline in places like Mic, Euronews Green, Huck, DJ Mag and Mixmag, where I have covered topics like dance music communities, sustainable lifestyle and our relationship with tech.
