Journalism

I cover all sorts of stories about New York life and culture – from the New York dating scene to US healthcare, and from feminism to priests who work in fashion.

I'm a lover of literature, whether in the form of a chick lit novel or Seamus Heaney's poetry. I’ve reviewed both non-fiction and fiction for national publications in the UK and Ireland.

Below is a selection of my best recent work. You can check out more of my writing in the archive.
