After five-and-a-half eventful years, Friday was my last day at WalesOnline. From breaking major stories to baffling royalty, meeting sporting legends, covering Six Nations and World Cups and balancing baggage handling with interviewing Ian Rush - it has been a lot of fun (1/4)

and my colleagues’ kindness and compassion made it possible for me to make it out the other side. And after his big move to Wales earlier this year, my dad has been able to read my name in the paper every day 💙 (3/4)

I’m in need of a bit of a break so I’m taking the rest of 2026 out to recharge. After that, I’ll be looking to get stuck in to any opportunities inside or outside journalism. If you’d like to chat work or want tips on how to rock a hi-vis jacket like me, my DMs are open 👊 (4/4)
