About me
My most recent full-time role was for Yahoo UK as Deputy Shopping Editor, where I would uncover the best online deals, report on the hottest trending products and offer honest shopping recommendations through detailed tried-and-tested features. During my time here, I helped ideate, create and edit successful content franchises, sponsored opportunities and daily shoppable news.
Working across the lifestyle team, I also produced SEO-driven articles on health, food, nutrition and general wellness.
I have experience securing and executing branded content deals with the likes of Sainsbury’s, Dunelm, Emma Sleep, Ninja Kitchen and LookFantastic.
I have previously produced weekly newsletters spotlighting editorial content and exclusive paid-for features, delivering to over 140,000 subscribers, and formulated social captions for brands with large social followings (1 million +).
My earlier experience is in the world of food and drink, where I would source and write food news content, upload, update and nurture core recipes, and review various products.
