With 25 years’ experience as a travel editor and writer — including 15 years as editor of the award-winning National Geographic Traveller (UK) — I've worked across print and digital titles in numerous forms.

Now Editor-at-Large for National Geographic Traveller (UK), I'm also available for projects, commissions and consulting positions.

With a track record of launching, editing and redesigning magazines, I have a keen eye for what readers want and also know how to deliver commercially successful products.

From building teams and establishing structures and processes to creating award-winning titles, I've kept storytelling and community at the heart of every product I’ve worked on.

During my time at National Geographic Traveller (UK) I oversaw the launch, growth and expansion of the brand from print into digital, social media, awards, and numerous events and partnerships.

I’ve worked with many brands and tourist boards to communicate their message to readers via branded content, sponsored supplements and bespoke digital projects.

I’ve also been a key part of panel discussions, judged awards, tutored aspiring travel writers and guested on podcasts — recent appearances include Jules Verne, World Media Group, Bath Spa University, and Inspire Global.
