I am a multilingual journalist with considerable experience of living and working in France and Brussels.

I use my French language skills to reach sources and perspectives beyond the scope of many international journalists.

I have lived for a number years in Paris and know it better than my hometown of London!

REPORTING FROM FRANCE

After working as an assistant producer in the BBC's Paris Bureau for a year, I freelanced for Monocle 24, Deutsche Welle and Exaro News from Paris. 

INVESTING IN THE BANLIEUES
