Experience

Scheenagh has been writing ever since she could lift a pencil, and has more than two decades' experience in journalism. She started out in the TV listings department for UK news agency The Press Association, before moving up to the TV features team, where she wrote editorial copy for UK newspapers and magazines, and interviewed hundreds of celebrities. In 2013 after 10 years with PA, she emigrated to France, where she has lived ever since. In 2013, she launched her freelance career, and spends her time seeking out interesting people and stories for features in newspapers, magazines, and websites, with readers across the US, UK and Europe. She is fascinated by the concept of food being much more than fuel for our bodies, lives by "the spirit of trying something new," and is constantly in search of the perfect dessert.

Education

Scheenagh has an NVQ Level 4 in journalism at Grimsby College of Further Education.
