About

I began my career in radio and have since moved into television and live events as well as podcasts and online video.

I first became best known in Brussels for Tweets of the Week – a fun look at the EU’s week on social media for Euractiv, I also presented weekly programmes from the European institutions for Vieuws.eu for four years. With second-to-none on-air skills, I also regularly provides live coverage of breaking news in Brussels and am called upon as an EU expert by BBC radio, Skynews, Euronews and others.

I have been a journalist in print, radio and television for nearly 25 years, the last 15+ specialising in EU policy and legislation in the technology sector.

​

I am originally from Ireland, and after university in Northern Ireland and France, worked in Dublin as a radio journalist.  I then worked in Malta editing a national daily paper and covering the Maltese EU accession process.

​

A move to the UK saw me working in the tough, but instructive, British newspaper industry, before moving into trade publications to set up my own custom publishing company — Figure8media.

​

I moved to Brussels in 2010 and have reported on European affairs for Middle Eastern television, British radio and American online media, among many others. I have a wealth of experience in navigating the political quagmire of the EU.

​

I am passionate about the importance of rigorous reporting to society, and believe that ethical journalism should go hand-in-hand with conviction on human rights and social issues.
