My coverage of the war in the Balkans led to being head-hunted by the second largest newspaper in Britain and breaking scoops read by millions of people.

At 21, I was recruited by the national newspaper of Wales as newsdesk editor to 40 reporters. I split my time between Cardiff and London, freelancing at national papers as well as covering the war in Bosnia.

First significant journalism role. Senior reporter covering various local and national news. Quickly promoted to run the newsroom when senior team were absent.
