I’ve been with Energy Saving Trust since late 2023. I started my career in financial services, creating expert advice for people navigating insurance products. Before joining Energy Saving Trust, I worked at Confused.com for 11 years, leading their content team to create and maintain all advice on the website. I was also the communications lead for the company’s sustainability group.
With over 15 years’ experience in consumer writing, I’m now responsible for ensuring our advice is both expert and easy to understand. If you can’t explain something simply, you don’t understand it enough yourself. I’m also responsible for the stories that go out in our monthly newsletter – Energywire.
I enjoy writing both in and outside of work. I’m a big fan of escape rooms and puzzle games, and I co-host an escape room podcast.
