Journalist reporting on drugs, power, culture and health
I’m a journalist who has reported from across Europe and the Americas, publishing investigations, long-form features, cultural commentary, and dispatches. My work explores the intersection of drug policy, power, culture, and health.
I have profiled and interviewed figures such as Jackass' Bam Margera (Rolling Stone); ayahuasca-drinking astrobiologist Bruce Damer (Nautilus magazine); celebrity ufologist Jeremy Corbell (Playboy); eternal lifer Bryan Johnson (The i Paper); the Republican psychedelic whisperer Bryan Hubbard (The Standard), the whistleblower Chris Wylie (GQ Australia magazine) and the cannabis martyr Gary Youds (Reason).
In 2024, I was a Ferris-UC Berkeley fellow in psychedelic journalism. I contributed a chapter that year titled Why Do We Take 'Drugs'? for a Sainsbury Centre exhibition anthology. In 2023, I worked with VICE to transform my article on the psychedelic toad venom industry in Tulum, Mexico, into a short documentary. In 2018, I won the London Press Club’s Hugh Cudlipp award for outstanding student contribution for a series of articles on the gambling industry published in The Guardian.
I'm the author of two slim book volumes, firstly Should All Drugs Be Legalized? (Thames & Hudson, 2022) and then Psychedelics: A Pocket Primer (Hoxton Mini Press, 2025). I have given keynotes on my work at conferences on both sides of the Atlantic. I’m now writing my first novel, for which I am newly seeking representation after my agent was poached by Audible!
