News correspondent with extensive international experience
As a print and broadcast journalist, I have covered many of the major international stories of the past three decades, including the COVID-19 pandemic terror attacks in France, Spain, and Belgium: the invasion of Iraq and aftermath war in Kosovo death of Princess Diana Rwandan genocide and the Northern Ireland peace deal. I've also reported widely on international politics, cybersecurity, security and defence, elections and peace talks.
Some of the more fun stuff has included the Cannes Film Festival Tour de France Paris Air Show wine harvesting and interviews with top chefs.

I am the France country contact for the Dart Centre for Journalism and Trauma. I'm also an experience trauma trainer.
