About Me.

I grew up in a single-parent household where my mum listened to the news every day, saying it connected her to a world that was bigger than just our own personal lives. Having the tools to talk about what is going on around you, I believe, is a superpower. Access to reliable information, and an awareness of how local, or wider issues affect other people, are things to me, that have never been more important. From my perspective, journalism is both a privilege to create and to consume more than ever before, and is something that can bring clarity and help people make sense of an increasingly complex world.

Recently, I have been focussed on enhancing my production and research skills, but prior to this I have also worked as a news reporter after graduating from Liverpool John Moores University with a First Class degree in journalism. When it comes to reporting, I believe that the key to creating good stories is staying open to new possibilities and listening to the world around you. I am obsessed with developing my style of working, as I believe that while people want to understand the world, they often feel overwhelmed or disconnected. My aim is to always look at where the gaps are, and assess which narratives hard-to-reach audiences are most interested in.

Previously, I have specialised as an Under 35s writer for WalesOnline, which allowed me to develop my own voice as a reporter for demographics becoming disengaged with news, writing stories which affect audiences on a smaller scale, to writing timely pieces based on trending news and opinion articles which start a conversation. My pieces have reached millions of readers, and have been featured on news sites all around the UK, from regional websites such as the Manchester Evening News to national titles such as The Mirror, OK! and more.
