A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Kirstie and I'm a journalist, editor and content writer with over eleven years of writing experience. It's great to have you here!

Here's a quick overview of my career to date. I started my writing career fresh out of university in 2014 as a junior reporter at a pharmaceutical magazine. Fast forward over a decade, and I'm three years into freelancing full-time and writing about all things startups, business and travel.

So, what was I up to in between? I've worked in-house at B2B publications, deputised on global client accounts at content and communications agencies, and was even head of content at an online media publication focused on the UK startup space.

From features to podcast scripts, blogs to whitepapers, I can turn my hand to journalism, content and editing – and love to have a good chat with my clients along the way.

Outside of work, I love hiking, crafting and travelling as much as time and budget allows. My next trip? A week in Poland, split between exploring the city of Kraków and hiking in the mountains around Zakopane.
