Freelance Writer

From an early age, I’ve been obsessed with movies and television, which helped shape my career in journalism. Originally from London, I moved to Los Angeles in 2006 to take a deep dive into Hollywood – and it’s been an incredible ride. For many years, I served as the Hollywood Correspondent for Total Film, but my articles have also been published in Radio Times, SFX, Digital Spy Hello, and many other outlets.
