Hannah Byrne died aged 22 on the first night of her holiday in Corfu on 1 September, 2023.

Two years on her family still don't know what happened in her final moments.

I spoke to the family to find out more about Hannah and about the delays investigating her death.

Had a fun (and busy!) few days last week reporting for BBC Radio Sussex.

There was Gatwick, a huge pub fire, toad patrol and more.

As well as live radio, I wrote online stories and got my work on BBC Sounds and on TV.

See some of what I got up to below ⬇️

I'm a reporter at BBC South East, here for your stories from Kent, Surrey and Sussex. Every now and then I'll ask for holiday recommendations, sometimes I'll geek out about shorthand.
