LONG
I spent 10 years at Money Observer – the consumer personal finance & investment magazine – rising from Editorial Assistant to Deputy Editor.

I then helped design & launch Guardianweekly.co.uk – a website for the international digest of the Guardian/Observer, which used first-person content sourced from Guardian journalists, the NGO community and Guardian Weekly readers.

I was asked to launch the website for the Guardian's Katine project – a £3m three-year development initiative with funding from readers and Barclays – to improve lives in Katine sub-county in Uganda.

I took a 7-month sabbatical before rejoining Guardianweekly.co.uk and steering it's relaunch on the main Guardian.co.uk platform.

In June 2010, I joined the Guardian's Consumer pod, working across the newspaper and website on personal finance, investment & consumer issues: from shopping & new technology to mortgages & the Budget. During my time I deputised for the Observer Cash editor & the Guardian Money website. For a year I was one of the Guardian's Consumer Champions, solving readers' problems.

In April 2013 I became Editor of Moneywise – the UK's leading personal finance magazine – and website.
