I have been working for The News as a digital reporter since November 2023 having graduated with a Masters in Sport Journalism from The University of Brighton in the same year. Having worked in different industries for over a decade, my passion for sport and news saw me take the plunge and return to university to complete my masters. Portsmouth has always been my home and I have lived and worked in the area all my life having come through Cowplain School and South Downs College. The chance to represent Portsmouth at The News was a job I have always dreamed of. Being a massive Pompey fan and season ticket holder, The News is a paper I have avidly read since childhood, religiously pouring over it for the latest developments and transfer news. As ever though, the most interesting articles are those about the people in this city. Portsmouth is fiercely passionate city, full of storied history and unique characters. The biggest privilege is shining a light on those characters in informative, engaging, and fun ways. My main focus is on food & drink and health content, however, I also do much more besides and I am not adverse to making myself look foolish for a good story.
