About Me

I’m Lidija and I've been a journalist, editor and researcher for over 10 years. Currently I'm based between Beirut and Edinburgh, which are two pretty different places.

Career-wise, I started off in investigative journalism, and then worked in research and publishing. After a brief disastrous stint at a corporate risk consultancy, I went freelance and never looked back. You can read more about my personal story here.

Right now I'm focusing on content marketing, feature writing, digital marketing and editing. I've covered a whole range of topics, but my specialisms are in social issues, travel, and business. 

My work and research have been published in the Financial Times, an award-winning BBC File on 4 documentary, The Baltic Center for Investigative Journalism and a variety of magazines and news outlets, including Deep Baltic, Discover Benelux and LSM (Public Broadcasting of Latvia).
