MARCH 2025:

I’ve moved to the Highlands! Living in Inverness for the next six months to work with the local BBC team. Looking forward to covering stories across the region for radio, TV and online.

DECEMBER 2024:

First time filming and editing a piece for Reporting Scotland. 16ft knitted Christmas tree trying to reduce isolation near Edinburgh. Enjoyed covering the story for all BBC Scotland News outlets. Watch here.

AUGUST 2024:

'Breaking' is making its debut at the Paris Olympics and, in Glasgow, dancers are giving it a go. I joined a class and attempted to learn 'the turtle'. Watch here.

APRIL 2024:

Pleased to have made my Reporting Scotland debut with a piece on the Commonwealth Games. Glasgow is being considered as a ‘last resort’ host for 2026. Event planning has faced a series of challenges since the Australian state of Victoria withdrew last year. Watch my report here.

JANUARY 2024:

It's been a fast paced few days for BBC Radio Scotland news programmes, providing the latest information on the weather situation and covering the fallout from Storms Isha and Jocelyn. There's been significant disruption and damage to property across the country. I was in Baillieston where the roofs from neighbouring garages blew into a garden and wind destroyed a wooden conservatory. I reported live from outside Glasgow Central train station, hours before ScotRail services were suspended for more than twelve hours because of safety concerns.

FEBRUARY 2023:

I’m delighted to have joined BBC Radio Scotland as a news journalist. I’m grateful for so many freelance opportunities over the past four years, particularly the chance to work closely with The Big Light.

JULY 2022:

🥈 Delighted to say that ‘COP26 Daily’ won the SILVER AWARD for Best Daily Podcast at the British Podcast Awards in London! 'COP26 Daily' was a two-week show, on The Big Light network, recorded during the 2021 UN climate summit in Glasgow. It featured activists, delegates and politicians from around the world, highlighting daily conversations and debates about the climate emergency. Thank you to everyone who supported, shared and listened to the show.

MAY 2022:

Situated in the Scottish Highlands, the Cairngorms National Park is a vast, living, changing landscape, formed not just by the glaciers of the past, but also by the people who live and work in the area. I take you to meet some of those people in a new podcast series called, 'Cairngorms Characters'. Click here to listen.

APRIL 2022:

We (The Big Light/Noisemaker) had a great time at the ARIA Awards in London. We didn’t win but we're really pleased that The Big Light and Noisemaker's 8-part drama podcast, 'Atlantic: A Scottish Story', was nominated for Best Fictional Storytelling. Heather Small opened the ceremony and one of the highlights was a powerful speech by BBC's Chief International Correspondent, Lyse Doucet. Click here to listen to 'Atlantic: A Scottish Story’.

JUNE 2021:

From January - July 2021, I worked on a musical-drama podcast called Atlantic: A Scottish Story - an 8-part series inspired by the true stories of St Kilda. The podcast is a Big Light/Noisemaker co-production with support from Creative Scotland. I co-produced and co-edited the series.

The series features a soaring original score, traditional Gaelic song and real recordings from St Kilda. The cast includes David Hayman, Blythe Duff, Kate Dickie, Richard Rankin and other talented actors.
