About

I am a highly motivated Early News Editor, with NQJ qualifications and several years of experience in a newsroom working on breaking news, trending content and features. In my current role, I focus on breaking news and explainers across a variety of topics, from health and travel to consumer guidance and business, as well as copy-editing for the news team. I primarily cover national news but have previously worked in regional media, including for the Yorkshire Evening Post, Yorkshire Post, The Scotsman and iNews. Prior to this, I was a senior reporter specialising in health and travel. In 2020, I was named Rising Star of the Year in the National World company awards and was also shortlisted for Digital Journalist of the Year.
