Jenny Proudfoot

Jenny Proudfoot is an award-winning journalist, specialising in entertainment, feminism, careers, travel, international development and politics. After working at MC UK for seven years - rising from intern to Features Editor - she is now a freelance contributor to the News and Features sections. In 2021, Jenny was named as a winner on the PPA's '30 under 30' list, and was also listed as a rising star in journalism.

Jenny graduated from the University of East Anglia with a degree in International Development with French, specialising in politics and gender studies. During her time at Marie Claire UK, she was renowned for championing women's voices - be it directly from the Formula 1 pit-lane, or on the red carpet at the Toronto Film Festival. Interviewing Jessica Chastain, Jude Law and Emilia Clarke have been her biggest pinch-me moments, but she’s still holding out hope for sit-downs with Michelle Obama, Reese Witherspoon and the Olsen twins before she hangs up her dictaphone.
