My features have appeared in Cyclist, Rouleur, Cycling Weekly, Bike Radar, and Total Women's Cycling. Furthermore, I write about cycling trends and travel on my blog, 2wheelchick.cc.

When I am not writing about cycling I also do copywriting on healthcare and wellbeing projects for communication agencies and pharmaceutical companies.

What was your first job as a journalist?

To write a feature about a cycle race, which involved interviewing the former Irish professional racer, Sean Kelly. I was sooo nervous!

Yes - about 25 years ago. I used to love using one, especially when the bell went at the end of a line!

How is social media changing news?

People can receive the news so much quicker than before, but unfortunately some of it is not properly verified!
