I am an award-winning freelance arts critic, journalist and editor, specialising in theatre, dance and visual art (with a sideline in hotels, spas and football).

My writing has been widely published by titles including the New Statesman, TLS, Condé Nast Traveller, the Financial Times, The i, the Evening Standard, The Independent, Time Out, The Stage, Suitcase Magazine, Artists and Illustrators, OOF, Exeunt, The English Garden, Dance Gazette, the Globe and Art UK.

From 2016 – 2018, I was the Reviews Editor of Exeunt Magazine where I commissioned, edited and wrote reviews for theatre across the UK and Ireland.

I have acted as a mentor to new critics and young journalists on behalf of Vaults festival, Exeunt magazine and Roehampton University, and appeared as a panellist for talks at the Wellcome Collection, V&A and SPANC 2024 at the University of Bristol. Additionally, I have been a critic-in-residence for a theatre festival at The North Wall in Oxford.

I have also been invited to appear on the TLS and The Stage podcasts.

On 1 September 2024, I became the Chair of the Critics Circle Drama Section after three years serving as Secretary and helping to co-organise the annual Critics Circle Theatre Awards.
