Cardiff, United Kingdom

It has been a privilege to play a part in the huge success of the BBC Sport website. I have enjoyed reporting live from the biggest Welsh sporting showpieces, such as the 2010 Ryder Cup at the Celtic Manor, the 2008 FA Cup final with Cardiff, the 2010 and 2011 play-off finals with Cardiff and Swansea respectively and Joe Calzaghe's super-fights. It is not.

Cardiff

It was an honour to play a key role in the Wales on Sunday's most successful period on the newspaper's award-winning sports desk.I consistently broke exclusive hard sports news stories and wrote snappy live reports in all sports to tight deadlines, especially at Joe Calzaghe's late-night boxing shows.I proved my feature writing versatility in delivering.

Newport, United Kingdom

I had the pleasure of starting my sports journalism career at my award-winning local evening newspaper.And I continually broke exclusives on Welsh football, as well as breaking Newport County and Cwmbran Town news, in a traditionally sparse soccer area.I enjoyed covering the Welsh national team both home and abroad, providing live coverage from Wales' Euro.

Chepstow

It was my responsibility to set up and single-handedly manage the new Chepstow district office where I helped provide extensive coverage of Monmouthshire news.My coverage of the Marjorie Evans case, the Monmouthshire head mistress suspended for allegedly slapping a pupil, was unparalleled as I continually led the news agenda.I was a key member of the Argus.

Chepstow

I had the privilege to begin my journalism career at my local weekly newspaper where I solely managed the Chepstow district office.I single handedly revamped the news content to transform the once struggling Free Press into the fastest-growing weekly newspaper in the United Kingdom by returning to the news basics of court, council and school governors.
