I am also Deputy Editor of National Trust Magazine, one of Europe’s largest circulation titles, sent to every National Trust member and read by over five million people each issue. I also work as a freelance digital content editor for BBC Countryfile and BBC Wildlife, creating SEO-optimised content tailored for Apple News audiences.

On the commercial side, I have produced copy and editorial content for brands including Duke Arts, Classeek, MOTH Drinks and Decca Records, and worked on digital communications and strategy for The King's Singers, Homes & Antiques and Bristol Ideas.
