Once I learned to talk, I never stopped. The same can be said of my writing career, too, as I think I've wanted to be a writer since I knew how to hold a pencil. You'll find my typing skills far more legible than my handwriting, thankfully. My passion for writing (and a stubborn streak of determination) is what helped me undergo a total career shift in 2021 to pursue my ambition of becoming a games journalist, putting in the hours as a freelancer for TheGamer, Gamezo, and Tech Radar Gaming before finding a full-time position at GamesRadar. When I'm not compiling quirky listicles or trying to work out Game Pass prices in USD, I'll be working on my paranormal history podcast or playing some Dead By Daylight - with the curtains tightly drawn, of course.
