I am a freelance journalist based in Southampton, England. I write regularly for The Guardian’s education supplement and contribute other pieces on travel and health for the newspaper. In addition, I have also written for The Times Educational Supplement and the New Statesman.

I have spent time working in education in both the UK and the USA, having built up many contacts at all levels of the profession. I continue to write and edit a professionally produced magazine for a college in Southampton.

I write features for BBC news online websites and file regular opinion pieces for the US publication Community College Week. I am also a contributor to People Management and the Health Service Journal.

I have also written articles for Condé Nast Traveller and The Independent. I have a strong interest in researching and writing about North American destinations. Many of my pieces have appeared in Essentially America magazine.

I have experience in interviewing people for features, researching specialist subjects and delivering copy to meet tight deadlines.

I have provided my own photographs for several of my published travel articles. Some of my pictures appear on this site.

I have a good knowledge of film and music, which has been reflected in some of my travel articles.
