And there’s nothing as remarkable either. Often the most extraordinary stories come from the ordinary and I have been inspired and humbled by many of the people I have interviewed for real life features. From those who have overcome tragedy, to those who simply want to help make the world a better place, their uplifting tales are proof the human spirit can survive against the odds.

I have contributed real life features for Tesco magazine (which has a readership of 6 million), some of which have subsequently been picked up by various national and regional media, and Sun Woman, the section dedicated to women in The Sun.
