Editorial roles as Production Editor at Hairdressers Journal International (HJI) in May 2003, HJI Features Writer in April 2005, and HJI Business Editor in February 2007, led to being headhunted for the position of Deputy Editor at Creative HEAD magazine in June 2007 before a promotion to Editor in February 2008.
