I'm a senior reporter, and the Head of Features at the Press and Journal. I have been a journalist with the Press and Journal since 2014, and I'm particularly interested in transport and environment stories. I'm motivated by a passion for giving a voice to real people living in our special parts of Scotland. My team and I cover Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray, the Highlands and Islands. When not at my desk, you can usually find me up a hill hiking in Aberdeenshire or the Highlands, or at a heavy metal gig.
