Experience

Gloria attended the University of Manchester, alongside many of the BGFG team. She achieved a first in History, and carried out an external research project for a local heritage group on behalf of the university. This kick-started her interest in research, which is what drew her to working at PC Guide.

Outside of tech writing, Gloria works freelance for independent TV companies and the BBC. She has worked on Panorama and BBC Radio 5 Live, in addition to Rip-Off Britain. This consolidated her knowledge of consumer issues regarding tech, something she is particularly interested in.

As a Gen Z insider, she is all too familiar with the speed at which young people adjust to new technology. The rise of ChatGPT was a large part of her initial writing work at PC Guide, and she was able to witness how her peers and younger siblings were reacting to AI chatbots as they became more popular.

Education

Gloria graduated from the University of Manchester with a first-class BA in History, with honors.
