About Me
For more than 15 years, I have been the Senior Publications Editor at Tearfund, a leading relief and development agency that works to end poverty and injustice. In this role, I oversee the production and distribution of Tear Times, a quarterly magazine that showcases the stories and impact of our work around the world.
With a master's degree in playwriting from Goldsmiths, University of London, and a strong background in journalism, drama, social media, and digital media, I use my communication and copywriting skills to craft compelling narratives, edit and proofread articles, and manage the design and layout of the magazine. I also collaborate with our global network of partners, staff, and supporters to source and feature diverse and authentic voices and perspectives. I am passionate about creating engaging and inspiring content that reflects our vision and values, and that motivates our readers to join us in our mission.
