I am a Manchester-based freelance writer, photographer and multimedia producer. 

A journalist since 2002, I have worked independently since 2006 – focusing mainly on social affairs, education and culture.

At home, I have covered court, spent days inside prisons and carried out investigations on issues including asylum, regeneration and Roma rights.

Abroad, I have met hard-line settlers in the West Bank, visited development projects in India and written about sustainable tourism in Africa. 

Past clients include Action Aid, BBC, The Guardian, The Independent, The Sunday Express, Inside Housing, Times Educational Supplement, The Big Issue in the North and Creative Partnerships.
