Hello, and thanks for visiting. I'm a journalist and multimedia storyteller passionate about stories with emotional depth - whether they inspire or shed light on underserved voices and social issues. Drawing on 20 years’ experience at the BBC and in freelance media, I craft, produce and present stories across culture and current affairs.
As a producer on the BBC One ‘Six and Ten o'clock News’, I worked on some of the biggest stories of our time - from the Tunisia and Nice terrorist attacks to the death of the Duke of Edinburgh - while pitching and reporting arts stories for the programme. I've presented more than 40 films for BBC regional current affairs programme Inside Out, fronted a culture magazine show 'Global Pulse' for BBC World TV News, and occasionally presented 'The Cultural Frontline' for BBC World Service. My reporting has brought focus to underserved audiences - from covering the 2005 Birmingham riots between Black and Asian communities, to the eviction of Europe's largest illegal travellers site Dale Farm - across BBC English Regions' network of African Caribbean programmes, BBC Radio Essex, and New Nation newspaper (Britain's best selling Black newspaper, now defunct). Before journalism, I pursued a career in music, which led to winning a MOBO Award.
Today, I freelance for Music Week magazine and independently produce, host, and edit a YouTube interview series ‘Guitars of R&B’ (see social links below). Alongside this, I'm developing my skills in documentary filmmaking and storytelling as a way to explore culture, history, and social issues.
