Alexa Phillips

I am a freelance journalist and writer, specialising in  environmental and social issues. I have written for the i, Independent and Metro, and I was previously a staff reporter at my local newspaper, the Henley Standard, where I covered community campaigns to protect biodiversity and the River Thames. I hold a distinction in Newspaper Journalism MA from City University, London.

Before becoming a journalist I worked in the charity sector for ten years, living and working in Amsterdam, Johannesburg and London for Greenpeace and ActionAid UK.

I now live in Oxfordshire with my family.
