I consider myself a lifelong student of the market rather than a traditional journalist. Driven by 20+ years of industry experience, I dive into Government, Entertainment and Travel with a fan’s energy and a veteran’s eye for value. To me, every launch is a chance to have fun and learn something new. I unbox the 'why' behind the news, debating the impact with my team to make sure we’re navigating the public pulse together.
