  Beginning as sub-editor of TheKiteMag (premium, international, print and digital kiteboarding magazine) in 2014, I assisted in the launch of the magazine alongside editor Alex Hapgood. Day to day work involved copy writing, editing and proofing, as well as digital and social media marketing. I took on the role of Editor of Foiling Magazine in May 2019 – an international print and digital magazine dedicated to hydrofoiling (surf, SUP, wake, wing and electric) which has seen phenomenal subscription growth in the last year. As well as curating and editing the magazine content, I oversee all aspects of magazine development, production and marketing for both print and digital editions, as well as monitoring all social media and web output. I also work part-time on separate marketing accounts that form part of the Water Born Media portfolio. Show less
