A country girl - Gloucestershire born and raised - in the fields is where I spent most of my days…it’s several years later and, ever the country girl at heart, I’ve an enduring love for greener pastures, though these days I’m all grown up and am the ubiquitous urban-dweller with a passion for city living. I spy with my cultural eye and thrive on all that the bleeding edge of modern living has to offer. When I’m not writing for fun or for the mighty dollar, I love to make music, hang out in bars or indulge my love for a more rural slice of life. Ever the self-starter, I relocated to Manchester three and a half years ago post-uni to team-up with my web designer friend on a project to get my name out there and bypass the pitfall that is “running.” We’ve since built several highly successful websites, including Late Film, Late Mag, Breathe Modern and my pet-project, Beyond Kewl, where I wrote in my spare time to indulge my love for cheeky one-liners and titillating copy. I feel now’s the time to further my career.

When I’m not working I love to play. I adore animals (I’ve always longed for a dog) and keep two rats, Clint and Moses (filmicly named, because that’s another passion.) I love to get out and about in the countryside by foot or on my mountain bike, popping into country pubs for Pimms. As I mentioned, I’m very into film, both watching and writing about the medium, and my favourite director is David Lynch (what can I say? I love his beautiful vision and his female characters just set me on fire.)  I’ve been making music for a little while now (you can catch my tracks on myspace,)  it’s something I’ve developed a massive love for and I hope one day to be as good as my downtempo heroes, Bonobo and Kruder and Dorfmeister. I have an eye for and an interest in culture, love to read the papers (especially to immerse myself in a glorious Sunday read,) am keen on art (an artist myself,) am a bit of a design-phile and keep abreast of the media. Travel’s a big love for me, too, and, having spent some time in the Caribbean, feel it’s somewhere I’d like to one day build my dream contemporary wooden home which will be filled with animals and sunshine
