About Me
I tend to write freelance articles and help edit a magazine+newsletter called 'IMPACT' on a volunteer basis. In my day-to-day life I am a supervisor at a bookshop near Cambridge. I am also Press Officer for the North East Herts CLP and once worked for Geraint Davies, when he was MP for Croydon Central, as well as having worked as a Campaign Intern for the Hemel Hempstead Labour Party. I have written (and am editing) an unpublished novel, and am currently writing a novel about politics and polar exploration (contradictary I know).I am a member of the Christian Socialist Movement and stood several times for District Council in Baldock Town Ward and in Baldock East Ward (North Herts). I also helped run a coffee shop for several years.
