I’m a freelance journalist who focuses on the outdoors and adventure. I primarily focus on reporting for ExplorersWeb where I‘ve freelanced since 2018.

My work has also appeared in magazines and newspapers such as National Geographic UK, Sidetracked, The Guardian, The Great Outdoors, and Outside.

I’ve interviewed globally known adventurers including Reinhold Messner and Borge Ousland and my reporting has been cited in newspapers such as The Washington Post and The Globe and Mail.

I specialise in northern adventure travel and regularly spend time in the Arctic. I’ve trekked in Finland, Norway, Sweden, Greenland, and Siberia, where I spent twenty days walking across the world's largest frozen lake.

Adventure isn’t my only passion, though. I work as a public health academic by day, where my writing has been published in scientific journals such as The British Medical Journal and Nature Medicine.

I am a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, member of The American Polar Society, and I call the Leicestershire countryside in the UK home. I am available for assignment.
