Stats Perform, working on international football, tennis and all major sport.
As well as helping to manage staff, I have broken agenda-setting stories and reported and worked at many major events, including two Olympic Games, two Commonwealth Games, the 2017 UEFA Women's Championship, 14 Wimbledon championships and 10 World Snooker Championships.
