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.
​
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.
