Our Story

I’m a freelance journalist with a decade of experience working in print and online.

I started my career in Cumbria at the North-West Evening Mail before moving to the Chronicle, Journal and Sunday Sun in Newcastle, and on to the Press Association in London.

I’ve worked as a reporter and a news editor - covering some of the biggest news stories of the past 10 years from Derrick Bird and the Cumbria shootings, to the Salisbury poisonings.

As a reporter I’ve a particular interest in prisons, public spending, and investigations.
