Her broadcasting career started at Sky News and Sky Sports, reporting at events like the London 2012 Olympics, and the Vancouver and Sochi Winter Olympics.

This passion for sports is not confined to her professional life; she is an active participant in football, rugby, and surfing.

Early in her career, she worked as the Ireland Correspondent and was recognised for her reporting on the political complexities of Northern Ireland, and for her “brave and fearless reporting” on paramilitary violence.

She was the BBC’s LA Correspondent between 2023 and 2025, covering the US presidential election, the Trump presidency, the tech world’s rapid changes, LA wildfires, and major Hollywood awards such as the Oscars, Emmys, and Grammys.

In her two years, she reported on significant moments, including the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, the world’s biggest tech outage, Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race, and the wave of college campus riots.

She has reported in the studio and live on location around the UK, the USA, and Ukraine.

Outside of work, she is a passionate sportswoman, playing football and rugby, and she even surfs around the world.

Since becoming a mother, she has explored changing attitudes to sport and fitness through pregnancy.
