About me
I have over a decade of experience in publishing and communications, the last four of which have been in specialist healthcare sectors, including medical cannabis.
I am one of the few UK journalists specialising in cannabis-related health and policy, with work that spans the fields of science, medicine, wellness, drug policy and more. As the former editor of Cannabis Health, an industry-leading title covering the potential of cannabis for health and wellbeing, I have been at the forefront of the European space for the last four years and have reported extensively on the developments in this rapidly-evolving sector, with a focus on patients and consumers. Under my leadership, Cannabis Health won 'Best CBD Magazine' at the World CBD Awards, 2022.,
I believe in tackling stigma and misinformation with science, without losing sight of the importance of the patient experience. Through my journalism and content, I help individuals and brands navigate complex topics to communicate their story in a way that resonates. I aim to bridge the gap between the scientific community and the public, to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing, with accurate, evidence-based information.
SKILLS & EXPERTISE
I have an NCTJ accreditation and an MA in Journalism from the University of Sunderland. I have also completed additional specialist training through the Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society in the UK.
I have hosted and facilitated webinars on cannabis-derived medicines and have spoken at leading industry events such as Cannabis Europa, Product Earth and Drug Science’s UK Patient Conference.
I am currently available for journalism and writing commissions, content creation, cannabis-related communications consulting, events and media appearances.
