About

I am a Presenter/Reporter/Documentary Maker/Weather Presenter at the BBC, with almost 20 years experience. I have a Masters degree in Broadcast Journalism from the University of Central Lancashire. My mission is to inform, educate, and entertain audiences with engaging stories, insights, and perspectives on a range of topics, from current affairs and history to nature and culture. I have developed and honed my skills in communication, public speaking, self-operating, editing, scripting, and producing, as well as presenting live and recorded television and radio programmes. Some of the popular BBC One programmes that I have presented include Walk the Line, Weather Watchers with Barra Best, Coastlives, Barra on The Foyle, Barra on the Bann, Barra’s Return of The Wild, and Barra’s Wild Days Out. I have also contributed to BBC Northern Ireland's Children in Need shows and BBC Weather. I am passionate about delivering high-quality content across various media platforms and reaching diverse and large audiences.
