I’m a Dublin-based assistant news editor and reporter at TheJournal.ie. On this blog I write when the mood takes me about pop culture, feminism, music, TV, film and the world around me. Sometimes I feature 35mm photos I’ve taken on my travels.

I co-present the culture podcast Get Around To It with my pal Lauren Murphy, an arts journalist – you can find it on all major podcast providers, just click this link. Every month we meet up (virtually!) to chat about TV, books, film and music we recommend.

I contribute or have contributed to:

For three years I hosted a weekly radio show called Sweet Oblivion on the digital station RTE 2XM,

The diptych-style photos I feature are all taken by me on a Golden Half half-frame 35mm camera and the medium-format square photos were taken using my Lomography Diana F+.

The 35mm pics are taken on a Canon AE 1. There are more on my Flickr account.
