Yorkshire born and bred, I regularly appear on ITV Regional News across the country, as well as in my home region of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire on ITV News Calendar.

Following two and a half years on loan to ITV in the Channel Islands where I enjoyed the warmth and friendliness of the studio every night I am now back out on the road looking for stories that resonate with our viewers across England.

When I’m not on TV I keep busy appearing in amateur drama productions, organising Scout competitions, supporting my church and working on various design projects. I also regularly volunteer to speak in schools to help inspire more young people to follow in my footsteps.

And when I’m not busy with all that there’s nothing I like better than planning holidays, often with large groups of friends to various different places.
