Previously deputy personal finance editor at The Daily Telegraph, I have been freelance since 2008 and have written widely across newspapers (Telegraph, Times, Sunday Times, Financial Times), magazines (Woman, Woman&Home, Red, Woman's Weekly, Good Housekeeping) and websites (Compare The Market, MAPs, Times Money Mentor). My most regular features nowadays are for Yours every fortnight. I also enjoy taking part in podcasts, chatting on radio or TV and appearing on panels or hosting live events. I cover everything from frugal food and budget activities for kids through to more hard core investments, pensions and tax.
