I started my career in local newspapers, first as a junior reporter at the Lennox Herald before joining the Paisley Daily Express as a sports reporter. I then took the post of chief reporter at the Kilmarnock Standard. A period in public relations with Oxfam Scotland followed, before I moved to the Herald and Times Group in 2010 as a senior reporter. I cover the news beat in Lanarkshire and also report on mixed martial arts (MMA) for Herald Sport. I’m proudly South African and have lived in Scotland for 15 years.
