Brilliant to work with Catrìona Aitken on this one 👇🏻 Nos Galan mystery runners are Gareth Thomas and Laura McAllister bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-…


Was really great to be out and about this afternoon and evening, speaking to football fans about tonight’s make or break match. And to do my first live radio hit for BBC Radio Wales as well! Great start to a few weeks trying out being a newsdesk reporter 😊



Thank you so much to Rhian, Harrison and the team at Auditory Verbal UK for taking the time to talk to me about a campaign for more support for deaf children in Wales






Two years working BBC Wales News has flown by! 😱

Delighted to have former Mackie Academy pupil Catrìona Aitken in this week to speak to L5 Criminology classes about her crime reporting for BBC News (UK) in Cardiff, and blowing their minds with her shorthand skills! #Commitment #DYW #BringingTheCurriculumToLife
