News Reporter – Editorial

What I do at PinkNews: As a reporter, I focus on covering community stories that highlight the diverse experiences, challenges, and triumphs within the LGBTQ+ community. 

I'm happiest when out and about, speaking to people on the ground and telling human interest stories. I've been published in local London newspapers including Ham&High, the Romford Recorder and the Islington Gazette and Tempus Magazine.

Roman Empire: Social justice

Best moment: I couldn’t choose! I’m proud of all of the community-based stories I have covered such as: https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/09/14/irish-mammies-for-trans-rights/ , https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/01/10/nottingham-homophobic-attack/
