I’m back with the Radio Manchester team - yesterday I was reading the news and today I am out and about reporting!

Here’s an article I wrote for them the other week when I was reporting for them:

What a day to read the news last night for all 39 BBC local radio stations! It was a privilege to broadcast on such a big news story like the budget for across the country.

My key tips were: don’t let anyone put you in a box, network, say yes to all and any opportunities and if there is no opportunity, just do it yourself!

Proud to be sharing my experiences of investigative journalism, presenting and producing World Service programmes, reporting for radio, TV and online in regions, making docs, reading the news, broadcasting the trafffic, presenting commercial radio programmes and overseeing weekends on Newsbeat.

It was an absolute privilege to be part of a media panel yesterday at the University I fell in love with media at, The University of Manchester.
I remember when I was a student there and I attended a similar event, meeting an investigative journalist (I even bought and read his book!)

I’ll be looking after weekends, I’m really excited to get started.
That also means I’m available during the week to work with the brilliant teams I have previously met and connected with too! (2/2)

I spoke to people who spent £400 per ticket to see Oasis, who flew from Australia, Finland, Netherlands, Germany, Croatia, who were going three times, who left their country of Japan for the first time ever to see Oasis, it was incredible. I also appreciated the bucket hat one interviewee gave me 😂

Yesterday I spent the day in Manchester’s city centre interviewing people who have travelled far and wide to see the Gallagher brothers united again. It felt like reporting on a piece of history - all for BBC Radio 5 Live’s Wake Up to Money programme.

Had fun reading the news today for BBC Radio Manchester from 7-12pm! It’s always exciting to have a live cricket hit in your sports bulletin too 🏏

Back on air tomorrow from 7am across Greater Manchester and on @bbcsounds.bsky.social

This month marks 7 years at the BBC for me! And what a journey - firstly broadcasting traffic for BBC Essex and BBC Solent, then producing and reporting for radio and online for BBC Essex, reporting for 5 Live, R4, Newsbeat, presenting and producing documentaries for BBC Surrey and BBC Guernsey,

I’ve had a great week working with the BBC Business Unit this week - fixing guests and writing cues for the Today programme for BBC Radio 4, and Radio 5 Live’s Wake Up To Money programme. 📈 I’ve worked on a whole range of subjects like Dubai Chocolate and Minecraft…
