I am a content creator with a broad spectrum of experience across different media formats. My writing “career” began with an article in my high school magazine and I have since written for National Geographic, Adidas and Red Bull as well as countless magazines, blogs and websites. For 7 years I was Chief Editor at FATMAP - a revolutionary outdoor adventure platform which was acquired by Strava in 2022 - managing contributors and writing extensively myself. I also wrote and formatted a 450 page guidebook to the mountains of Chamonix, France, which was released in 2016 (followed by a 2nd edition in 2022) and has sold over 15,000 copies.
In addition to my writing work I also have extensive experience of broadcasting, having presented 100s of live broadcasts and produced scripts for countless voiceovers and podcasts.
