I have worked as a freelance journalist, magazine editor and TV presenter for the last 20 years across various programmes and print publications at the BBC, Channel 4 and ITV, as well as writing for The Guardian, The Times and for media in New Zealand. These have included health and consumer shows such as Watchdog, Healthcheck and Food and Drink.

I also wrote a book called The Good Life; A Guide to Living a Greener, Cheaper and More Fulfilling Life in New Zealand.
