I am the Associate Comment Editor at the Daily Telegraph, a role I began in January 2026. I joined the Telegraph from the Daily Mail, where I spent the first seven years of my career.
I was hugely privileged to depart the Mail as history editor, a role that I pioneered. I had been pursuing my passion since January 2021, when I became the Mail’s first ever history correspondent.
I wrote features pegged on anniversaries, new books and films and also carried out exclusive interviews. I also regularly commissioned and edited pieces by expert historians and managed the Mail’s online obituary coverage.
My work led to appearances on BBC Radio 4’s Broadcasting House programme, GB News and Talk TV.
Before starting to cover all things historical, I was a home news reporter, having ‘graduated’ from the Mail’s two-year trainee scheme in September 2020. Through the trainee scheme, I also had experience on the foreign news, showbiz, health and Femail desks.
Outside of journalism, I was a member of the trustee board of the cancer charity Young Lives vs Cancer (formerly CLIC Sargent), from September 2017 until December 2022. My role involved the representation of the charity at public events, scrutiny of board documents, and financial oversight of the organisation. It was an extremely rewarding experience.
