Background

Throughout my 10+ year career as a journalist in Dublin, I have covered everything from the Boston Marathon Bombings, international political events to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s royal wedding and I’ve interviewed myriad interesting people like Cherie Blair, Bono, President Michael D. Higgins and first lady Sabina, Zendaya and Olivia Palermo.

The last last six years have been spent immersing myself in all things digital. During my time at Independent.ie - the flagship digital publication at Independent News & Media - I have worked across and managed a number of verticals, but my specialty is overseeing the Style vertical, producing and editing content for the website’s 13 million unique monthly users. I specialise in thoughtfully presenting celebrity and lifestyle content in an all-encompassing way for the digital audience.
