I've worked at many BBC Local Radio stations including Derby, Leeds, Lincolnshire, Sheffield, Shropshire, Stoke and York.
I'm experienced delivering speech content for an older adult audience, skilled in handling interviews, callers and storytelling.
I've interviewed people from all walks of life - from politicians to popstars. I've hosted on-air auctions and all-night election coverage. I often broadcast on location, delivering descriptive scene-setting and commentary. I provided 40 minutes of live, uninterrupted commentary on The Queen's opening of Scarborough Open Air Theatre.

My experience working in the BBC Local Radio format taught me new approaches to interviewing and encouraging listener involvement. I have completed a range of BBC Safeguarding Trust and Editorial Policy training schemes, giving me valuable understanding of potential legal and ethical issues.
