About me:
I am a Scottish journalist, editor, copywriter and social media strategist based in London.
Currently I am UK Editorial Director at GAY TIMES, overseeing content across the website, social media and monthly digital magazine, booking covers with the likes of Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Kali Uchis, Dua Saleh and horsegiirL.
I have held positions as Sex and Relationships Editor at Cosmopolitan UK, Features Editor at the Gen Z wellness digital platform Woo and Digital Editor at HUNGER Magazine/RANKIN.
Writing professionally since 2016, my work has appeared in the likes of British Vogue, We Present, Dazed, i-D, Time Out, The Quietus, CNN, Riposte, Elle, Highsnobiety, Teen Vogue, The Guardian, Stylist, The Face, British Journal of Photography, Refinery 29, Cosmopolitan, Vice and Huck.
I have profiled and interviewed the likes of Julia Fox, Little Mix, Emma Mackey, Griff, Dixie D'Amelio, girl in red, Joy Crookes, Megan Barton-Hanson, Zara Larsson, Olivia Laing, Harry Kane, Beabadoobee, Ella Mai, Ivorian Doll, Madelyn Cline, Miranda July, Munroe Bergdorf, Pabllo Vittar, Yungblud, Noel Fielding, Juliana Huxtable, Chella Man, Bree Runway, Stefflon Don, MJ Rodriguez, Bimini and Anne-Marie.
I have been an Associate Lecturer at London College of Communication since 2021, having also served as a Career Mentor at Westminster University for over two years. Additionally, I've lectured at Conde Nast College of Fashion and Design as part of their Vogue Summer Intensive Course and delivered a feedback session to London City University students on the Magazine Journalism MA programme.
As a public speaker, I've moderated a panel on the challenges facing queer nightlife at the Night Time Economy Summit in February 2024, hosted a discussion exploring the realities of being a pleasure professional for the Lover Presents panel series in March 2024 and spoken on a panel exploring storytelling in the digital age at SPANC 24 in April 2024.
In June 2022 I organised and curated an exhibition of work by London-based queer artist couples at Vogue Fabrics Dalston, attracting press and social media coverage from Dazed, AnOther, Vice UK and i-D. In the same year, I was featured as a relationships expert on BBC Radio London and was interviewed about the impacts of dating on mental health.
In 2021, one of my essays, on whether queer exhibitions should be reclaimed by LGBTQIA+ venues, was reprinted (and translated into German) by Kunsthalle Dusseldorf in the bilingual reader for the exhibition Journey Through A Body.
In 2019 I won Young Journalist of the Year at the PPA Scottish Magazine Awards and was featured in Journo Resources' roundup of "Great LGBT+ Journalists And Filmmakers". I've been quoted as an expert in New York Magazine's The Strategist and Other Day.
