a year ago today, at just 18, I started my apprenticeship with @GlosLiveOnline in partnership with @Facebook as a community reporter.. weeks after picking up my a-level results
it's been a mad year for many reasons - so I thought I'd share some of my fav stories + experiences!

a few weeks in, I visited @whollygelato - just down the road from me! farming can be difficult as farmers are forced to diversify, but these guys are nailing it - and itâs always a pleasurable story where cows are involved

looking back at pics like this feels SO weird because of COVID, but the atmosphere of the Stroud Earth Strike last September was euphoric - nowhere does it like Stroud

Iâd never got the tube before - until I had to travel to Reach HQ and @FacebookLondon for training... I wore a jumper because I thought it would be cold underground
but now Iâm used to it, travelling for work is a dream and I hope I can do it again soon

It was a very exciting night when I went on patrol with @GlosPol_Rural, who do an amazing job at cracking down on crime which desperately harms the economy, livelihoods and creatures of our rural county ... theyâre unsung heroes of our countryside https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/gloucester-news/spent-night-hunting-poachers-treasure-3423063
a really random, but lovely story

this came about when I was shopping in the Tesco next door... I practically dashed into Costa and felt like a proper reporter hahah https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/gloucester-news/couple-costa-quedgeley-engagement-love-3449537

the most exciting moment of my career so far has definitely been clunking into parliament in my doc martens ... sipping gin with MPs for the Taste of Gloucestershire event AND unexpectedly watching the December election get announced from the gallery.. was absolutely insane

this one took ages, and is a subject I feel so strongly about - it definitely made me practice being unbiased as a journalist, but itâs always interesting to hear what people with different opinions to your own have to say
