About
I'm a freelance journalist from the UK currently based on the south coast of New South Wales. My work has appeared in The Guardian, BBC, The Sunday Times and more.
I’ve reported from across the globe — including Fiji, Chile, Estonia, Morocco, Portugal, Turkey, Switzerland, Costa Rica, South Africa, and Australia — and have received reporting grants from the Pulitzer Center and the Environmental Journalism Network.
I am currently a Pulitzer Center Ocean Reporting Fellow -
Alongside journalism, I spent three years with the UK-based Local Storytelling Exchange, producing environmental solutions stories across print, TV, and radio. I also have experience in copywriting for ethical travel brands.
I'm always on the lookout for a story. For commissions or collaborations, feel free to get in touch: francescaadkins6@gmail.com.
Education
I hold an MA with distinction in International Journalism from City, University of London. Before this, I spent four years immersed in countless books (and cafes) while reading English Literature at Edinburgh University. This included a year across the pond, where I switched my Shakespeare lectures for Whitman at a small liberal arts college in Virginia, USA.
