About

I’m a broadcast journalist in the BBC’s Economics and Business Unit which produces business content across BBC platforms.   I studied French and Italian at Pembroke College, Oxford.  After graduating in 2006, I spent a fantastic three years working as Executive Assistant to Peter Jones, one of the UK’s most well-known entrepreneurs. From being at the front line of start-ups like Reggae Reggae Sauce to launching a new television programme, I worked with a small team across a wide range of business interests.   Making the tough decision to leave, I spent my last free summer of 2009 in Ethiopia, working for the Give A Future Foundation in Addis Ababa, photographing and blogging about my experience.

In 2010, I went back to study, completing a Diploma in Broadcast Journalism at Cardiff University.  I’ve worked on business programming at BBC Radio Wales , for Bloomberg TV and as a reporter for Real Radio in Wales.  I currently produce new Radio 5 Live business programme On the Money and the News Channel’s Show Me The Money, presented by Declan Curry.
