What made you want to work in the magazine industry?

I was obsessed reading Vogue when I was 14, but quickly realised I didn’t have the artistic skill to make it as a designer, so I decided to give writing ago, and even after my interest in fashion faded, I stayed fascinated by how magazines worked.

Can you chart your journey from when you started out to your current position?

I started out working on a small university online magazine as the “What’s on” Editor. I was studying History at St. Andrews and clueless about how to make the move to a professional magazine, so I applied to City, University of London and got in.

I got really into finding and writing up interesting case studies at City, so when one of the alumni got in touch about a job as a Junior Feature Writer at TI-Media in the Real Life hub, I jumped at the chance.
