Hi there—I’m an independent writer and multi-platform journalist. I tell global stories with an intersectional feminist approach. I’ve spent the past decade covering human rights, politics and culture from Asia, Europe and the United States. My essays and reportage have appeared in The Guardian, BBC, Los Angeles Review of Books, CNN, Times Literary Supplement, WIRED, The Economist and many more publications. I was shortlisted for the inaugural Philip Hoare Prize for international creative non-fiction, and my journalism has been recognised by the World Association of News Publishers, among others.

A persistent generalist with expertise on China and Asia, I’m most interested in transnational stories grappling with gender, race, and empire. Founder of New Tide, the UK’s first ESEA journalism network, I also serve as head of the magazine team at the global non-profit NüVoices and contributing editor at Translator, a publication of translated journalism.
