What a wonderful start to a long-weekend off work! Last night I found out that I got a distinction in my MA dissertation, and this is the icing on the cake 😱 Genuinely can’t thank everyone at @CardiffJomec enough for the best year

Congratulations to @catrionaa15 from @CardiffJomec who has won the first ever @ReachplcEvents journalism for a digital audience award! Well done 🌟

Delighted to have former @MackieAcademy pupil @catrionaa15 in this week to speak to L5 Criminology classes about her crime reporting for @BBCNews in Cardiff, and blowing their minds with her shorthand skills! #Commitment #DYW #BringingTheCurriculumToLife


Two years working @BBCWalesNews has flown by! 😱


Not an easy story to cover at all 😔 Rachel is one of dozens of parents fighting to have her story heard in a review of maternity services in Swansea

Rachel Kemble’s son Farai was born by emergency Caesarean section at Singleton Hospital maternity unity in June 2013, but she says a failure to do an advised scan led to a lack of oxygen to his brain bbc.in/3SFFHsX

I’ve been working at the BBC for nearly 20 months and today some kind person finally showed me how to make the nuclear microwaves function like normal microwaves 🤯🍽️

Martin Quinn is the first Scottish actor to play the famous Scottish Star Trek character, Scotty. Thanks to Elle Duffy, Angela Carr, Steve Brocklehurst and the rest of the amazing team for their help and support in producing the story for all outputs. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…


Thank you so much to Rhian, Harrison and the team at @AuditoryVerbal for taking the time to talk to me about a campaign for more support for deaf children in Wales

The therapy, which isn't available on the NHS, has changed profoundly deaf five-year-old Grace's life bbc.in/3TZ7VzZ



And the football beat was stark contrast from the start of my week, covering a murder case at Swansea. Ashley Sarsero was stabbed to death outside his home. This week, a jury found James Smith guilty of murder, and Steven Morgan of assisting him bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-…


Was really great to be out and about this afternoon and evening, speaking to football fans about tonight’s make or break match. And to do my first live radio hit for @BBCRadioWales as well! Great start to a few weeks trying out being a newsdesk reporter 😊

Glad I was able to pull this together at the end of a busy week! Thanks so much to Ruth and Gareth for sharing their experiences…. Just a drop in the ocean of the many runners who say they’ve been left in the lurch
