About Me
Passionate journalist with over 20 years of experience in sub editing, producing, news writing, reporting, sports broadcasting, voice-overs, and public relations. From handling play-by-play duties of the World Hockey Championships to commentating the European Team Badminton Championships, I have been behind the mic for a variety of international sports competitions.
On the other side of the camera, I have worked as a news editor and news writer for three international networks based in Europe and Asia, managing teams of journalists and liaising with correspondents in the field. Whether it's at the stadium or in the news room, I can always be trusted to provide insightful commentary and accurate reporting.
