I fell in love with Seattle when I visited four years ago and this is when I also fell in love with the

Some personal news
Delighted to announce I’ve accepted a role as a broadcast journalist at Original 106! 🎤
Staying within D.C Thomson so means I still get to see my fab colleagues but I am excited to be working with other teams within the company come August.
Orient are back at Wembley! Deserved. Amazing. It is also Two years to the day that I launched the Save Leyton Orient campaign. How far they have come along in that time is incredible.

Just a young journalist launching the biggest campaign of her work career four years ago - the outcome was a successful one and although a sad story loved working on this project.

📣 Some news: I suppose it’s the best time as any to say I’m moving to Inverness next month.
Boy what a 2 and a bit years it’s been in Aberdeen and when I left London to head back to the granite city I’d never imagine I’d move to the Highlands 2 years later - cue Mr Skinner 😂
Three years ago I was bright eyed and bushy tailed heading to my first Orient match of the season and since then they have crept into my heart. My thoughts are with everyone at the

Me: Do I need to take off my hat?
TSA Guy: No... but you should... because no one likes the Seahawks although Russel is doing well.

So it’s official. I’m moving back home as of next week. 😳
I can’t believe it was four years ago, aged 23, that I packed up for London. The decision hasn’t been easy and I’m not sure I can say I won’t be back. But for now it’s hello 🏴 man I’ve missed those rowies!
#Scotland
Well this couldn’t be anymore wrong.
First of all I worked seven days a week when covering
#Orient
trying to uncover all the wrongs Francesco Becchetti FOR the fans, not the club.
Second of all - I didn’t make pals with any of the five managers I met during one season...
Which is why you shouldn't follow any local press whoever you support.
Most are fans, most don't want to be kicked out of the weekly press conference by being critical, some become pals with the gaffer, some look for jobs in the club itself.
Self serving sycophants.
But I’m taking on another passion of mine and I’m off to study nursing with the aim of maybe one day getting into an ambulance as a paramedic.
It’s an exciting time but also nervy as I’ve enjoyed my time as a full-time reporter - but yes I’m scared 😂 but got to take a leap!
Orient! Orient! Orient! Orient! Congratulations
@leytonorientfc
! From this below back to the football league. Absolutely brilliant! Will always be my team from east London!

Some personal news - come this time next week I will be doing my final shifts on the multi-platform team at Sky Sports News.
I'll be doing some freelancing for a while (hopefully) in London - all money depending 😂.
My next adventure (whatever it may be) awaits!

Some wee personal news...
As of two weeks I’ll be combining roles on a temporary basis and helping out the P&J subbing team on sport. ⚽️ 🏈

But I've been given an opportunity I just couldn't turn down...
I'm delighted, honoured and maybe a wee bit scared (haha) to announce I'm leaving to be the new Deputy Head of Radio News at D.C Thomson.
Here's to being back in the fold and the amazing world of Broadcast! 2/2
As I’m sure memes of Josh Gordon are hilarious to many... I have known people close to me with a substance abuse issues and it’s hard to kick. At the end of the day he’s a human trying to make a living with a problem - let’s remember that.

Well as the working day comes to close - that's it for now folks at DCT.
What a journey the last six years have been - many downs but also many ups - from seeing Orient at their lowest before being sold to a lifelong fan, from meeting some amazing friends at Trinity Mirror...
Back in the Uk - tempted to head to the departures lounge and head back 😂 just kidding. Feeling pretty lucky I got to complete a new journey. See you soon USA. 🇺🇸

Can’t believe the fluff I am reading on this platform, my colleagues could lose their jobs, livelihoods and I’m seeing it’s cause the titles backed the Union… talented people are facing uncertainty - have some humility for one another. Be kind.
If you fancy a trip to the theatre this month I highly recommend

This may not seem like a massive achievement - but I did the Aberdeen Parkrun route today (trail run) - on March 4 I did 5km in 32:00, today I did 5km 28:50. It's still not that quick in terms of a 5k but my god I am happy that I have dropped a whole four minutes!
I'm so disappointed in the Scottish Sun's front page today. I constantly have to defend myself as a reporter, and this front page is just tragic - I haven't bought their paper in seven years so looks like this will continue for the foreseeable. Disappointed but not surprised.
People keep asking who I am going to America with and when I reply on my own they are shocked and ask why?
Well it’s quite simple if you read below. 😂

Just remembering what an American said to me in Boston as I was wearing my Michigan jumper:
‘Oh Michigan did you go to college there?’
‘No I’m from Scotland, just love Michigan’
‘Cool so Lions or Pats fan?’
‘Seahawks’
‘Well aren’t you confused?’ 😂👏🏻

What a great year I’ve had, that club does make it feel like home and the fan base are so dedicated.

Hey guys, please can you share? I am looking for new work opportunities as a sports reporter/producer. I have 6 years experience, having worked at Sky Sports, Reach PLC, and PA. I specialise in NFL, NBA and WWE, as well as video producing.

Away to get deep and personal regarding the Mason Greenwood allegations. I had to record an ex once who was emotionally abusive - it was to make me leave. I’m glad I wasn’t in the position where it was spread around the internet. If you do one thing today… 1/2
Boston was so fun! Legit so sad to be leaving as I met some really great people - but it’s now onto NYC for some Christmas festivities! 🎅 🎄 oh and the Knicks! 🏀

I’ve had enough of this royals story now. If they want to leave let them leave in peace! End of story, let’s move on. Australia has bushfires, there is tensions in the Middle East, bigger things than if Megan and Harry want to move to Canada.
