I am features writer, covering several of the key storylines - both modern and historical - across tennis. My main focus and interest is on facts & data, and historical contest, producing an array of content for Tennis365 in these areas across the year. I have also attended the Queen's Club Championships on behalf of the site, as well as interviewing former stars such as Gilles Simon, Marion Bartoli, and Mike Bryan. After receiving a gold-standard NCTJ qualification in 2021, I went on to work for Beat Media Group from June 2021 to September 2023. My time at Beat Media saw me attend the Wimbledon Championships in 2023 and also cover events such as the YONEX All England, and write for publications such as The Independent, The i, and England Football. I joined Planet Sport in April 2024 as part of the Tennis365 team and have been working for the site for one year. Having grown up in Hertfordshire, I studied English at the University of Southampton from 2016-19. Entering sports journalism has been my passion since I was a child, and I have been an avid tennis fan for the best part of two decades.
