Current position

I’m a Senior Researcher/Writer in our In-House Testing Team at Which?. This involves testing products and writing reviews for product categories including kitchenware, kitchen appliances, fitness products, DIY products and lots more. No day is ever the same - one week I’ll be baking cakes for a stand mixers test in the London office and the next I’ll be at my local pool testing swimming goggles. 

Key Experiences

After graduating from my journalism degree in 2018, I worked as a freelance journalist across a few national newspapers in their online news and social media teams. I moved into more consumer focused journalism when I landed a full time role as a Digital Journalist on the parenting website, MadeForMums. This largely involved testing and reviewing products like pushchairs and car seats, and gave me a solid foundation for the product testing I now do at Which?. 

 

Motivation for working at Which?

Which? is known for its credibility and expertise when it comes to reviewing products. This was certainly confirmed for me when I joined the Product Testing team and I was able to see the wealth of knowledge across our researchers, editors, scientists and market analysts. 

Greatest achievement

My greatest achievement at Which? was being promoted to a Senior Researcher/Writer, just shy of two years after joining. I was starting to feel more confident and experienced as a researcher and journalist, so it was wonderful to have this recognised in the form of a promotion.

Top advice

Ask questions and be curious. I’ve found the best way to learn is by drawing on the experiences of those who have been in your shoes. If you feel out of your depth, asking questions shows your colleagues that you’re keen and willing to learn. 

What do you enjoy most about working at Which?

The working culture and work-life balance are fantastic and very centred around employee well-being. The company size I really like as it hits the happy medium being not too small nor not too big where you're just a small cog in a big machine. Plenty of growth opportunities in an open environment.
