In 2015, I stood outside the BBC in London all night as a representative of young people in the North as the General Election results were revealed, hoping that one day I’d work at the BBC.
Nine years later, I’m in the same spot as a producer at 5 Live covering the overnight 🥹

Today marks a year since I bought my little flat 🖤
For those who don’t know, I was homeless at 15 - I never thought about owning property because it seemed so out of my reach.
I’m so grateful to finally have my own piece of safety and security 🥹

After two amazing years at GGRecon, I’ve decided it’s time to try something new. Sadly, that means I’ll be leaving later this month. Will miss them all a lot but I know they’ll go on to do even more incredible things. GG is massive xxx

Just been on a very hot and sweaty packed bus, someone kept dinging the bell for about 10 mins so everyone was annoyed. The driver’s sighing, I’m like urgh this is so shit. A man goes to get off the bus, taps me on the shoulder - turns out I was leaning on the bell the whole time

After being here a month, the flat’s finally finished 🥹 I know I’m going on about it a bit but I’m so proud to do this after being estranged from my shitty parents since I was 15 - little me would be buzzing to know that after everything, I got my own (goth) flat 🤘🏻

31 and been in journalism for over 11 years. Started off with obituaries/funeral guides, then politics, then LAD stuff, and now gaming and esports.
Here’s a pic of me clinging onto my youth while getting ready for a My Chemical Romance gig 🤪
About to turn 36, writing for coming up four years now. Started with reviews for
@FNGRGNS
, and since branched out to
@WCultureGaming
and
@gameranx
.
Would love to make a career of it, be it journalism, PR or marketing, or similar. Just gonna keep on writin' in the meantime.

Heartbroken to hear GGRecon is coming to an end. The team, past and present, was exceptional and poured so much passion into what they built.
Growing that site as EIC was an honour - as I always said, cut me and I’ll bleed GG green.

As I’ve got older, there’s one big thing I’ve learnt: Recognising internal misogyny is hard. But another woman’s success is not your failure. Bring up women, support them, put them forward for opportunities, shout about their achievements. Glass ceilings are hard to crack alone.
