Prison Portfolio

During my final year of university I chose to put together a features portfolio as my final-major-project. I wanted to focus on the topic of 'life after prison' and so I spent months interviewing current and former prisoners, and reform charity employees. These are some of the human-interest pieces that I featured in my portfolio - they remain some of the work that I'm most proud of.

Magazine features

I worked as the lead journalist for Vapouround Magazine, a niche business-trade publication. I sourced and wrote the magazine's news and features, two of which can be read here. I also edited and contributed to my own magazine during university, working alongside a small editorial team. This magazine was called Consilium and focused on the 'weird and wonderful' of life, two of my features can also be seen here.

It's a Conspiracy!

Knowing that a large proportion of Consilium's readership would be interested in conspiracy theories, I wanted to delve a little deeper and really understand what it is about them that appeals to people (as I don't consider myself much of a conspiracy theorist). For this article, I interviewed an academic who specialises in the research and teaching of belief in conspiracy theories and she knew why people felt compelled to believe them - even those that seem ludicrous.

"My parents thought I'd been tricked into joining a cult"

This article is an interview with James, a friend of mine who identifies as a LeVeyan Satanist. Knowing James, I know that he's not at all what people would associate with Satanism - he isn't violent, he isn't politically extreme, he isn't angry or depressed - so I wanted to use his experience to demystify Satanism and show that, like many religions, people who follow Satanism are often very normal people.
