Yasmine Crossland
The former Reviews Writer for T3, Yasmine, started her career in marketing but quickly moved on to writing reviews at the Good Housekeeping Institute in 2019. There she wrote for both digital and print, but even before that, she had always kept a finger on the pulse when it comes to the most exciting and innovative new tech and has always been more than happy to tell you exactly what she thinks about it too. Now she's living the dream of spending her days knee-deep in the latest products, whether that's a shiny new smartphone or a pair of the latest true wireless earbuds. Testing hundreds of products each year in between her freelance travel, her knowledge in the field has grown quickly. As an English Language graduate from King's College London, Yasmine has always been a keen writer and has even dabbled in a bit of poetry here and there. In her free time, you'll catch her travelling the globe – the perks of being a freelance tech expert – tending to her plants when home and planning her next big trip overseas.
