I am PlanetF1.com’s Homepage Co-ordinator, covering all aspects of the Formula 1 calendar.

My role as Homepage Co-ordinator is multi-faceted, overseeing PlanetF1.com’s evergreen and helpful content strategy, quality control and sub-editing to ensure journalism standards are high, contributing to social media channels, while managing and maintaining the PlanetF1.com homepage based on the biggest news and highlighting our original pieces.

I also contribute day-to-day by writing news and features, alongside identifying key newsworthy angles by working with our paddock journalists to upload and archive the interviews they send us on the ground at race weekends.

My notable interviewees since joining PlanetF1.com in 2020 have included Max Verstappen, Daniel Ricciardo, Sergio Perez, Christian Horner, Paddy Lowe and Jessica Hawkins.

I was born in Brighton but left home to pursue studies for my chosen career, and began in sports media in 2015 by volunteering in the press office at York City Football Club, eventually becoming Media Officer in 2017.

Having graduated with a First in BA Sports Journalism in 2016, I completed a Master’s degree in Journalism from Leeds Trinity University in late 2017, while working full-time in football.

Upon leaving York in mid-2017, I became Media Assistant at Reading FC, before a promotion to Media & Publications Executive. I began freelancing with Planet Sport in 2020, starting by populating PlanetSport.com, before turning to PlanetF1.com in early 2021 – joining the site early on in its journey to becoming an FIA-accredited publication.
