Editorial Foundation

I started my journalism career in newspapers but spent most of it in magazines. From 2010 to 2020, I worked at a leading travel magazine, writing features, guides and columns while serving as editor and co-editor of several publications. I increasingly incorporated digital into my work before moving into a digital-focused role at a general-interest magazine in 2022, where I continued writing for online platforms alongside managing digital projects and podcasts. Below is a selection of publications I edited or co-edited, as well as examples of my print and digital writing. Some of the articles are paywalled.
