Hi!
Londoner living in Chicago since 2016
I've been writing and editing professionally since I graduated from university in 2013.
I write about inspiring women, body image, history, film, podcasts, TV, feminism, fashion, interviews, and health pieces. I'm a research obsessive, and I also love politely interrogating experts.
I have a first-class BA in English and American Literature from the University of Birmingham (UK).
Past and present writing:
- Editorial Assistant at Good Housekeeping magazine in the UK. Wrote features, interviews with celebrities and inspiring women, and health pieces.
- My personal essays have been published on Buzzfeed and Hello Giggles. Fun story: I went on Houston morning TV to talk about eloping.
- I write health articles for Brit + Co.
- I have a couple of blogs, and I made a podcast, about the secret and surprising histories of everyday objects.
- I wrote product descriptions and blog posts for the website of a Chicago-based fashion company.
I like running, reading, podcast binging, long walks that get me lost, indie movies about dysfunctional families, peanut butter, and making friends with dogs.

I know that I am not the only person to hear negative body talk in the office. Read this article to help you ignore the triggering things you overhear at work.
My name is Tasha and I'm proud to be a podcast addict. Finding someone else who listens to the same podcasts as you is like meeting someone who likes the same straight-to-VHS movie you saw as a kid. Whatever else may set you apart, your mutual appreciation for these audio articles bonds you instantly.
Three women spent a month wearing only one outfit every day to see if this could be the new way to get dressed.
My husband and I eloped, and I think my low-key wedding day taught me some lessons that anyone getting married can appreciate.
For a shy teenager who blushed when anyone so much as spoke to me, that job turned out to be the challenge that pushed me to find my voice.
If you asked me to pick my favorite physical feature, aside from, like, vital organs, it would always be my legs. I have body dysmorphia,…
Before I became anorexic I thought it was basically just an extreme diet that people who wanted to be supermodels or celebrities decided to go on, but I learnt first-hand that anorexia is not a diet or a lifestyle choice. Anorexia was never my decision.
1. Run out of clean underwear. 2. Go to place where laundry is stored. Top tip: Throughout the week, instead of discarding worn clothing on the floor after pulling it from your dirty, sweaty, bacteria-oozing body, toss it in what the lifestyle industrial machine has termed 'a laundry hamper'.
