Welsh, London-based, comfortable anywhere. 

I grew up between Cardiff and the Valleys in an area famous for a gym that the Welsh rugby team trains in and a really (enormously) big Tesco.

I spent a lot of time in Tunisia - as a teenager with my mum at package hotels and in my twenties with Tunisian friends in cafes discussing politics. When the revolution that sparked the Arab Spring started there, I edited articles for a Tunisian English language news site and filed my first report for the BBC.

A year later, I actualised my dream of walking fast everywhere and moved to London. I was doing shifts as a producer on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, BBC Newsnight and Al Jazeera English- thanks to being selected as one of 14 candidates on the BBC’s journalism trainee scheme the previous year. I was selected for the traineeship partly due to my reporting in Tunisia and partly down to my pitch asking what exactly beach donkeys do in the winter. The scheme trained us in audio, TV and online journalism- as well as editorial policy and journalistic ethics.

Tired of cramming ideas into 3 minute items, I moved to longer form. I investigated and produced films first for VICE News Tonight and then Channel 4 Dispatches and BBC docs.

I have since written and produced narrative podcasts for Tortoise Media and BBC Sounds and produced and developed documentaries for Netflix, BBC One, VICE Media and Channel 4.
