What do you do for a living?
I’m a features journalist and editor.
What does that mean day-to-day?
Every day looks different! The journalist part of my work means sometimes I’m away on a press trip learning about how something is made, sometimes I’m interviewing someone for a piece, sometimes I’m at my desk writing.
As an editor I commission writers, plan content and give everything that’s written a sharp eyed once over to check it’s in the right style and there’s no grammatical or factual errors.
What do you love about magazines?
There’s nothing like the smell of ink on paper when you first open a magazine, and the way it primes your senses for curiosity. Magazines make you slow down, they invite you to read things you wouldn’t necessarily click on, and being in print means there’s endless ways to be playful on the page.
Tell us one thing not many people know about you?
I can wiggle one ear.
