Originally from Canada, trained in Cardiff, I've got 23 years under my belt as a reporter in the west of Scotland. I cover court, council, social justice, human interest - anything and everything for Helensburgh and Lomond as well as Clydebank, Dumbarton and the Vale, and north-west Glasgow. The most important stories are the snapshots of everyday life. Former local features writer of the year, I have been nominated three times for local reporting, and I am an award-winning podcaster.
