Thanks to an exciting and varied media career, I have acquired key skills that equip me with high quality news judgement and a proven understanding of digital & television production.
Currently a freelancer, I have enjoyed working for reputable clients, most recently AFP, Bloomberg, ITV and Sky News. I have several passions I enjoy in my spare time, from photography to travel.
I have several thousand hours of on-screen presentation experience, including reading the news on radio and television.
Please take a moment to watch my latest news anchor showreel from Sky News and Bloomberg, broadcast on global networks reaching over 100 million homes worldwide.
An editor and producer of both long and short form videos, my work enhances multimedia storytelling enabling news organisations to reach new digital audiences.
A presenter with over ten thousand hours airtime, I have also worked as a television producer and in 2017 started as ‘news anchor’ at Sky News.
I arrived on the media scene over twelve years ago as a local radio field reporter and recently returned to the airwaves as a broadcast journalist.

I lost my dad on September 19 to a battle that was won by Parkinson’s Disease and Dementia.
A favourite of housewives and hungover students, The Wright Stuff is a staple of morning TV. But yesterday, the main man Matthew Wright, announced he’s to quit.
It was fantastic to get back on the road behind the mic and report away from the comforts of a warm, dry newsroom.
I was approached to offer advice for aspiring journalists and newsreaders by journalism.co.uk – a leading website for those in the biz.
