A little on myself...
Saving and working since the age of 15, initially behind the bar at an (unnamed) Chinese restaurant in the South-West of England, presented an opportunity to travel and work-holiday for seven months in 2024 after graduating grammar school with an International Baccalaureate.
From the towering skyline of Shenzhen to quiet Abbotsford, or Nong Khiaw, those experiences continue to shape my outlook on story-telling, in all its nuance.
In early 2025 I gained a fast-track level Five NCTJ (gold standard) with Shorthand maintained at around 110WPM for transcriptions, with PA Media Academy. I was offered a contract at PA Media's Paddington office shortly after.
Since, my career has involved being one of South London News' first on-the-ground reporters, which gave me the privilege of access to growing a fledgling audience.
From interviewing Jeremy Corbyn at Whitehall concerning Reform's Croydon campaign launch, to covering the transport of bushmeat from Sub-Saharan Africa, the versatility for face-to-face interviews to deep OSINT investigation is a learned ability I pride myself in.
