I cannot wait to get started, but will miss being a BBC Wales News Journalist and the best of friends immeasurably 🤍🎥

It’s a privilege to be trusted to cover Wales’ biggest stories, and to have the time to work on my own pieces, whilst making sure Welsh stories make it to National coverage.

With that in mind, if you have a story or idea then please do get in touch on caitlin.parr@global.com 📻
