Journalism

I've been a journalist for 25 years and I love my job - I love chatting to people and hearing about their lives and I love writing. I also like news and gossip (receiving it, analysing it and especially the delicious feeling of passing it on!). I'm also a regular judge at the North East Press Awards.

I freelance for the Daily Express, the Sunday Express and the Daily Telegraph, and I cover health, parenting, dieting and relationships, but I also do human interest features for magazines and other papers now and then. Over the 15 years I've been freelance my work has appeared in Woman, Woman's Own, SHE, Best, Bella, The Mirror, The People, That's Life, Pick Me Up, Yours and Love It and I was acting Parenting Editor for the Sunday Express in 2007.

No two days are the same in my job and I love that. Not long ago I was lucky enough to travel to Hinterglemm in Austria on a press trip, then I wrote a piece about women whose mums died young.

I also get to do some travel writing which means reviewing hotels and sampling holidays - a dream job for any Sagittarian. This year's big trip was to Brazil, which was big and beautiful - braziliant, as Jack put it. A future sub for The Sun in the making there.
