Journalist - Writer - Blogger
Journalism Trainer - Media Consultant
Katherine is a multilingual freelance journalist, writer and blogger and the author of a forthcoming non-fiction book on The Baby Gap - the global phenomenon of professional women who are reaching their late 30s or 40s, realising it's getting late to have children and trying to figure out what to do about it. The book covers feminism and its unintended consequences, childlessness, 'social infertility', 'emotional infertility', relationships, dating against the biological clock, creative solutions to motherhood and work/life balance.
Katherine has written about this phenomenon in The Guardian, The Sunday Times and Easy Living, on The Huffington Post and her own blog, From Forty With Love, and has discussed the contents of her book on BBC Newsnight with Mariella Frostrup and Gavin Esler. Katherine and her agent are in the process of taking The Baby Gap to publishers with a view to publishing in 2014.
Katherine has 18 years experience in print and broadcast media, reporting and writing for some of the world's leading media organisations. She has written for Thomson Reuters, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, The Daily Mail, Time, Psychologies, Red, Easy Living, Woman, People, The Huffington Post, Bloomberg, Six Magazine and other media. She has appeared on BBC Newsnight, ITV Daybreak and Sky News and has worked for Reuters online television. She has also been invited to speak at a number of women's events, including the Women of the World 2013 festival where she sat on a panel on emotional and mental health with comedian Ruby Wax.
Katherine splits her time between writing lifestyle and social trend features for national magazines and newspapers - including stories on women, fertility, infertility, ageing, beauty, addiction and eating disorders - and reporting on humanitarian affairs, social justice, women's rights and social entrepreneurship for organisations like Thomson Reuters Foundation. Katherine also edits for Thomson Reuters Foundation's humanitarian news site AlertNet and its women's rights site TrustLaw Women.
She has covered some of the world's biggest news events for the largest media organisations, including the January 2010 Haitian earthquake, the December 2004 Asian tsunami and the London and Madrid bombings. She spent six years in the House of Commons as Reuters political correspondent, travelling with former British Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown to Washington, Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, the Far East and across Europe. She also spent eight years in Latin America as a foreign correspondent for Reuters and for Bloomberg and speaks fluent Spanish and Portuguese.
In February 2010, Katherine helped set up the Thomson Reuters Foundation's Emergency Information Service in Haiti, liaising with NGOs and the UN to deliver vital information to survivors of the earthquake.
Katherine trains journalists for the Thomson Reuters Foundation and private media organisations. She has trained journalists in Brazil, Mozambique and London in reporting disasters and emergencies, general news reporting and financial news reporting. Katherine can train in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
She also consults with NGOs, private companies and individuals on their media strategy and can provide media training.
