I lead the editorial team covering digital assets and blockchain regulation at CryptoWatchDaily. After earning a Journalism degree from The University of Sheffield, I spent a decade reporting on traditional finance before shifting focus to crypto. I value accuracy and clarity over hype. When I’m not tracking market movements, I enjoy distance running and collecting vintage sci-fi novels.
