Professional Experience

Celebrity and travel journalist currently based in London, UK. As an editor and editorial project manager, I've launched publications, raised brand profile, managed budgets and shown that I can increase readership and create talked-about covers and content. As a celebrity journalist, I've interviewed stars ranging from Puff Daddy and Katherine Heigl (not at the same time) to Celine Dion, a few Kardashians and canine star Uggie. I've edited two travel-based magazines, including a successful in-flight publication. I've lived and worked in Australia, New Zealand, France and Spain and have written about a variety of destinations.
