I began working for talkSPORT as an Apprentice in January 2023 but my role has since evolved to cover a wide range of areas. As well as being our designated Women's Football Correspondent on-air and for the website, I also co-produce talkSPORT's Women's Football Show. I regularly appear on air on Weekend Sports Breakfast to review the newspapers, on the Kick Off show to round up women's football news and on behalf of the website to give an overview of our stories. I have written over 200 articles for talkSPORT.com, including establishing a strong online women's football presence through original features and interviews. 

I was part of the team that won the SJA for Best Audio Lie Event Coverage for the 2023 Women's World Cup, and was shortlisted as an SJA ‘One to Watch’ On-Air for my work. I was also commended by the NCTJ for projects looking into sport and Remembrance Day, as well as the controversy that rocked the Spanish Women's National team at the World Cup.

I have worked at talkSPORT for a year and a half, during which time I also worked towards my NCTJ Diploma in Journalism. 

I graduated with a First Class degree in History and English from the University of Oxford in 2022. I completed A-Levels in English (A*), History (A*), Maths (A*) and Further Maths (A) as well as an AS-Level in Spanish (A).
