I am an independent arts and culture journalist based in the United Kingdom. My focus is on musicians, poets, writers, artists, performers, craftspeople and all forms of creative practitioner. l am particularly interested in spotlighting marginalized and underrepresented voices. In addition to my journalistic practice, I host and produce Tarot Interviews and Tarot DMs – two interview platforms that utilize tarot cards as a structural prompt. As a freelancer, I adhere to the Society of Freelance Journalists' Code of Practice and I am a full voting member of NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists. My approach aligns with Inclusive Journalism Cymru, and I follow the Trans Journalists Association Style Guide and GLAAD Media Reference Standards, with an emphasis on accuracy, respect, and allowing contributors to speak in their own words.
