Freelance Journalist, Commentator, Pundit

United Kingdom

I am a UK based freelance sports journalist, currently completing the NCTJ in Journalism (Fasttrack) at UCFB but with over six years continuous professional experience.

I mainly cover sport - particularly American sports (NBA, WNBA, NFL) along with Football, Athletics, and boxing, but I also delve into the worlds of entertainment, news and current affairs when the project requires it.

I am opened to new opportunities and projects in the UK or abroad.
