'You can make anything by writing' C.S. Lewis From obsessive story-writing as a child to embarking upon my degree in English Studies at the University of Exeter (where I obtained First Class Honours with Commendation), words have always been part of my lifeblood. My writing career started with a regional film magazine where I wrote previews and features while diversifying my experience with various web content, copywriting, blog writing, essays, articles and other editorial work. Alongside my feature journalism role, I continue to write across a mix of platforms and welcome all queries and new editorial opportunities, especially with a creative or literary angle. My first book - a memoir on mothering, grief and swimming the seas of home - is in development. Beyond writing, I can usually be found in or near the water. Living by the beach in Cornwall, I love nothing more than escaping there with my partner, our two young daughters and dog, Baxter. Having previously been a professional beach lifeguard and national-level competitive swimmer, today I remain an avid sea swimmer and run my own swimming school to help children discover their love of the water and develop a vital skill for life.
