Kat Romero

Kat is a writer and journalist hailing from London. Here at Mumsnet she writes our Swears By content, which is designed to offer mums a round-up of the best products on the market.

After graduating from university in 2011 with a degree in Journalism, she quickly moved into magazines and became the Style News Writer for more! magazine before moving to Closer magazine as their Junior Writer. Here, she progressed to Senior Writer and eventually Acting News Editor across their entertainment section.

Kat has also worked across a number of national digital sites and written on the subjects of dating and friendship for national titles. During her pregnancy, she had her own column with OK! Magazine and discussed the trials and tribulations that come from expecting.

After having her son River in October 2021, she decided to leave her full-time position in magazines and forge a freelance career and has worked for a number of high profile brands and titles. She has also penned her debut novel and been signed to the Curtis Brown agency in London.

Whilst she has always been a lover of writing, Kat feels becoming a mother has made her more passionate delivering quality content for parents that is helpful and relatable.

When she's not at her desk, Kat loves to soak up the sights of London with her fiancé Rory and son River - exploring museum exhibitions and the many open spaces and parks. Or you'll find her consuming far too much caffeine from some of her beloved coffee shops in her local area of South East London.
