Journalism

I've been a journalist for 26 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 17 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. I can be at a workshop learning how to find my "inner power" one day, then doing the most harrowing heartbreaking interview the next. One of these was with the courageous Rosie Wilson, whose daughter Ziggy attempted suicide and has been left brain-damage as a result. The link on my Journalism page will directt you to the feature which was in the Telegraph magazine.

I also get to do some travel writing which means reviewing hotels and sampling holidays - a dream job for any Sagittarian. I've become a contributor to worldreviewer.com, a great travel website which seems to have something on everywhere in the world. Sadly not all from me, but not for want of trying!
