Between studying and writing articles, it's easy for journalists to forget to take time to write for themselves.
So, take a stroll and find somewhere new to write.
Whether it's a journal entry or an article you care about but never get around to, just let the words flow!

Pre-Covid, if I asked you to describe a remote working deputy editor in Scotland, you would probably conjure up some sort of professional looking image.
I reckon most people would now be able to accurately guess that I’m actually wrapped up in a blanket 😂

Two years ago today (February 11) Brianna Ghey was murdered.
May she never be forgotten.
I want to talk about the impact her loss had on me. I attended two vigils in London and it activated me to pursue justice within the ad and media industries. Industries I know and could influence.
