AFTER A SHORT BREAK FROM PHOTOGRAPHY...

 

Following a bike accident, years of physiotherapy, a lot of metal in my foot, and hours in an anti-gravity machine to learn to use my new foot, I returned to my camera.  I have lived and worked in Mexico, Central America, Canada and Europe, with a focus on migration stories.     

​

I now live in Mexico City.  There is something magical about Mexico that drew me in; it is a photographer's playground.  

​

Before working as a journalist and photographer, I worked as a UK lawyer for 9 years.  I have a BA in history, a law degree, a postgraduate diploma in business psychology and a masters in war and psychiatry, specializing in ISIS and the the trauma of war. I speak Spanish and English.

​

I have also completed the following courses:

1. VICE hostile environment training;

2. Investigative reporting in the digital age;

3. International Normative Framework in Humanitarian Protection;

4. Humanitarian Part 1: key issues (Disaster Ready)

5. Photographers Ethical Toolkit (Thomson Foundation)
