I’m a London-based freelance journalist who covers a broad range of issues, with a particular focus in recent years on extremism, especially the far-right in Europe, radical conspiracy movements, and the manosphere.
I have extensive experience writing for newspapers, magazines and news sites, having worked in roles for international outlets including Al Jazeera English, CNN and VICE News in Hong Kong and London, and the Sunday Star-Times in New Zealand. In recent years, I’ve also worked in documentary video, hosting DECADE OF HATE, a VICE series of short documentaries covering the far-right globally.
My freelance work has appeared in publications including The Wall Street Journal Europe, The Guardian, and TIME.com. I’ve won numerous media awards, including newspaper feature writer of the year in New Zealand, and in 2023 was jointly shortlisted for Private Eye‘s Paul Foot Award for Campaigning and Investigative Journalism.
I’m a former Fulbright scholar and graduate of the Columbia School of Journalism, and I’ve made media appearances talking about my work on outlets like Radio New Zealand, the Ireland AM TV show and the Hacked podcast.
