I am a news writer, covering the biggest names and storylines in tennis. My main area of focus is crafting engaging, accurate and thoroughly-researched news stories and angles that contribute to Tennis365's comprehensive coverage of the sport. I also produce statistical-based and historical content, as well as features covering ongoing tournaments and other key tennis topics. In 2020, I graduated from the University of Sunderland with a First Class Honours Degree in Sports Journalism and also achieved a Gold Standard NCTJ Diploma in Journalism. I started working for Tennis365 as a freelance writer in May 2023 and joined Planet Sport in a full-time capacity in September that year. My previous tennis roles include writing for Sportskeeda (213 articles between 2021-2022), Tennishead (691 articles in 2021) and Last Word on Sports (49 articles across 2020-2023). My earliest memory of watching tennis is during the 2009 Wimbledon Championships, and I've loved the sport ever since. During my time at Planet Sport, I have also covered football for TEAMtalk and Football365. My previous football roles include writing for The Shields Gazette, Hartlepool Mail, Sunderland Echo and East Durham Life.
