Tabletop & Merch Editor

I've been writing about games in one form or another since 2012, and my bylines include Metro, TechRadar, and PC Gamer. However, these days you'll find me managing GamesRadar+'s tabletop gaming and toy coverage – I spend my time handling everything from board game reviews to the latest Lego news. I've also been obsessed with Warhammer since the 1990s and enjoy nothing more than running tabletop RPGs like D&D as a Dungeon Master, so if it involves rolling dice or nerdy collectibles, consider me interested! In my spare time I adore playing board games of all kinds and trying my hand at Magic: The Gathering (beware my goblin-heavy Red Deck Wins/RDW), as well crafting wargaming boards to fight over in 40K and Age of Sigmar.
