I am a British writer working primarily in East Africa on conflict and crisis; Kenya, DR Congo, Somalia, Burundi and South Sudan. 
I am also developing the biography of a conflict photographer and a satirical novel based on my experiences of cycling 5,000 miles across Africa for charity.

I was nominated "International Journalist of the Year" in the 2016 One World Media Award and in 2014 received a Pulitzer grant and a reporting fellowship from the International Women's Media Foundation. 
I write for newspapers and magazines including The Guardian, TIME, Newsweek and Marie Claire. I have also written an ebook, published by Newsweek Insights. 

I mostly write about people: their resilience, innovations, journeys and quirks. I am always seeking out remarkable characters who add new dimensions to well-told stories. To get in touch, please email me, and to see some of my recent articles and related links, click here.
