About

I'm a Political Correspondent for BBC News, specialising in UK politics and policy. I was formerly the Westminster Correspondent for BBC Wales, based in London. I have a track record in delivering original exclusives for BBC News as well as broadcasting new lines on the day’s top stories for all output - often at short notice. I have experience as a multimedia, self-shooting reporter, presenter and producer for BBC News with a particular interest in politics, social affairs, digital culture and online misinformation, and women's rights and health.I sat for two years on the BBC's Next Generation Committee, advising the BBC's Executive Committee and working to reinvent the BBC's content and workforce for future generations. In 2016 I gave a TED talk about how we talk about sexual violence online in 2016, which has more than one million views, and designed and ran a website to host survivors’ stories.
