Other moments I’ve reported on for BBC England over the last few months are the ceasefire agreement, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor losing his titles and the synagogue attack on the 2nd of October.

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.

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)

And the fierce Alexis Strum with her pop music comeback and all the press she has got around it too.

Both incredibly inspirational people I had the pleasure of interviewing 4/5 years ago (!!) for my ‘Let’s Go Kickass Today’ podcast, which I used to produce, present and edit on my own.

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 😂

I’ve also started freelance newsreading for BBC Radio Manchester - it’s been great to get behind the mic and live broadcast again!

I’ll continue working on securing agenda setting interviews for BBC Radio 4’s Today programme and BBC Radio 5 Live’s Wake Up to Money programme, see below👇 a photo I took from a prerecord I did with Google for the Today programme!

to now securing agenda setting business interviews for BBC Radio 5 Live’s Wake Up to Money programme and BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

What a rollercoaster! I have no idea what’s in store next but I’ve enjoyed the ride.
