  • Sep 2013 - May 2017

  I worked as a breaking news reporter at IB Times UK, where I had over 2,400 articles published on the unique CMS, some attracting up to a million hits. Many of my features were picked up by other news organisations and occasionally I was asked to stand in as news, weekend or evening editor. I worked mostly from home and am equally comfortable working under my own steam or as part of a team.
