Advice & Gardens Editor

Faiza is the Advice & Gardens Editor at Livingetc. A keen learner of all things gardening and home, she loves to spend her weekends visiting flower markets and going on long runs around Victoria Park — embracing nature in all its glory. From writing about flowers that bloom in the summer to chic outdoor furniture, Faiza aspires to share her knowledge with those who welcome gardening and the outdoors, and the beauty it brings.

Faiza also has a BA Honours degree in Journalism. Her passion for Journalism began when she was just a little girl. As a Muslim, growing up she felt there was not much representation in the media and she wanted to step up and be that change. After graduating and getting her degree, she spent her time freelancing for different outlets such as UniDAYS and Middle East Monitor, before getting her full time role in the newsroom.

Before joining Livingetc, (a brand which she absolutely adores and admires) she previously worked for The Independent as a News Feature Writer, where she focused on curating stories based on lifestyle, entertainment, news and more. She also worked as an Audience Editor for the newspaper for almost two years. Thriving in the busy newsroom, Faiza also spent her time crafting stories for Sky News as an SEO reporter, where she produced stories based on trending topics.

She has a background in SEO, social media and reporting. Her passion for writing goes beyond her work as she appreciates all things poetry and creative writing. In her downtime Faiza loves testing her sporting abilities and going on long runs and hyping up her senses with a good HITT class.
