Editorial experience
Between 2017 and 2018, I was the editorial assistant for digital commons openDemocracy. For six months in 2018 I was the editorial intern for Wired. I have assisted on a range of book-related and editorial projects about the financial sector, digital politics, the arts, migration, and the shifting sands of identity.
