I'm a British magazine journalist working in East Africa, primarily in Kenya, DR Congo, Somalia, and South Sudan (occasionally straying as far as Madagascar and Guinea Bissau). 
Aside from journalism, I am working on a renowned photographer's biography and a satirical novel based on my experience of cycling 5,000 miles across Africa in 2008.

I was a One World Media Award nominee in 2012 for my reporting on so-called failed states in sub-Saharan Africa, a 2014 Pulitzer grantee and reporting fellow of the International Women's Media Foundation. 
I have written features for Newsweek, Guardian Weekend, Telegraph Magazine, New Statesman and TIME, and published an ebook with Newsweek Insights. 

My work has been largely on human rights, conflict, and the environment, often focussing on a point where these issues intersect. 
I value on-the-ground reporting and seek out quirky angles to add new dimensions to stories. To get in touch, please email me, and to see some of my recent articles and related links, click here.
