A South London native with a background in cultural journalism, she covers the arts, society, and the quieter social currents that run beneath the obvious headlines. Her work tends toward the thoughtful rather than the sensational, which she considers a feature rather than a bug. When not writing, she can usually be found at a gallery, a pub, or somewhere in between.
