Writing & editorial work

Over the past seven years, I’ve written for a range of lifestyle and wellbeing titles including Psychologies, Platinum, Top Santé, Women’s Fitness, and Heiter magazine, where I worked as Sub-Editor across two print issues.

My work includes features, lifestyle content, curated shopping pages, and reader-focused editorial. I’m currently News/What’s On Editor for  Platinum magazine.  I was Food & Living Editor for  Psychologies for 2 years and contributed to both print and digital platforms – also writing lifestyle features, product roundups, and and scheduling social media posts to support digital reach.

For Top Santé, I co-ordinated and wrote beauty award content, managed reader feedback, and wrote several features including product round-ups and travel reviews. My writing combines clarity, warmth, and a deep understanding of wellbeing audiences.

I am currently News Editor for Platinum magazine and alongside another writer (who sources TV, film & theatre information), I compile a selection of What's On events. Click image below to read.

I managed the Top Santé hair and skincare awards for 3 years. This involved co-ordinating the sending out of 5 x products per shortlisted entry to a group of 50 testers, dealing with tester queries, any postage issues, liaising with the developers of the entry process, contacting PRs for hi-res images and product details. Then, collating all the results from all testers and writing the feature up for the magazine. Click image below to read and example of one of the features.
