About me

I’m a first-year PhD student with a background in advertising and food journalism. Previously managing editor of The Caterer, I also wrote reviews for Time Out and travelled the world’s wine regions to report on latest trends and delicious finds. I then moved into advertising, heading up a team in a Soho agency with clients including Diageo, Unilever, Durex and Guinness. Now I’m looking to uncover solutions to meeting net zero in UK agriculture and the policy tweaks required. Hello everyone and hope we can meet up sometime soon!
