MY STORY

I'm a freelance writer and editor, focusing on content relating to Eastern Europe. At the moment, this involves lots of work monitoring and writing on the Russia-Ukraine war for Associated Press. In addition, I'm currently working as a media development specialist to support a number of online, TV and radio outlets in the UK and across the Baltic States on behalf of the UK's FCDO. I can offer SEO/SMO help and translation from French, Russian and Spanish to English (other Slavic languages at a push!). My previous experience includes time on staff as News Editor at The Calvert Journal from 2015-2017 and Commissioning Editor at Culture Trip from 2018-2020. 

I have a BA in Modern and Medieval Languages (a silly title for a degree in French and Russian with a touch of Ukrainian and Dutch) from the University of Cambridge (Queens' College, 2014) and an MA in Digital Media, Communications and Journalism from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (2019). My thesis research was on media consumption and identity formation among the Russian diaspora.
