Local Democracy Reporter , Reach PLC

I'm 24-year old Local Democracy Reporter who was named in the Press 30 under 30 awards after just a year on the job, and was also nominated for young journalist of the year by the Society of Editors. Covering three West London council's I report on anything from council finances, dilapidated housing to campaigns to keep community venues open. I have been credited locally with saving a beloved West London theatre, and successfully pushed for a single mum and her children to be rehoused after reporting on their living conditions.
