Lovely news from the last week 🏆 Thrilled to be named on the Press Awards list of 30 journalists under the age of 30 to watch.
Such a joy to be recognised for the work I'm so passionate about, and a huge honour to be alongside such fantastic company @manchestereveningnews.co.uk

For no apparent reason, I’ve been away from Bluesky for a while but I'm back! Not least because, last week, I won an award 🥰 Very proud to have been given the Inspiring Local Journalism Award by the @publishersassoc.bsky.social for my work at @manchestereveningnews.co.uk 1/4
