I'm a freelance journalist from Ireland, based between Reykjavik and Galway. I write for national and international press as well as for corporate publications, government agencies and local media.  My work has been featured in The Irish Times, Irish Independent, National Geographic Travel, Euronews and Politico. I also edit for the European Commission’s CORDIS website.

Combining a creative background with strong research skills, I specialize in culture, music and human interest stories. I speak fluent French and some German, Dutch, Swedish and Icelandic. My skills include copywriting, proofreading, interviewing and translating. 

​

Past clients include the European Commission (DG HR), the European Commission's Research Executive Agency (REA), NATO, Brussels Invest and Export, and UITP's public transport magazine.

​

I'm also a musician, I studied documentary making at IADT and I'm passionate about telling the everyday stories of life!
