Somerset born and bred, I started out my life on newspapers as a cub reporter on the Central Somerset Gazette with no qualifications and trained and progressed my way up to chief reporter on the Midsomerset Series of Newspapers.
After a takeover by Trinity Mirror/Reach PLC, I became the court, crime and special investigations reporter for SomersetLive.co.uk. After being employed in the industry for over 10 years, I resigned from this role in June 2019 in order to work as a freelancer.
Proud to be a part of the One Million Project, and co-author of the non-fiction book 'So you say I can't vote'.
