Author Profile

I am a reporter covering the Richmond borough. I have been a journalist for 10 years, orginally starting out on the Richmond Informer, principally as a feature writer, before joining a Surrey paper within the same news group five years ago. I have been covering the Richmond area for nearly two years now and it certainly keeps me busy. It doesn't matter whether it's Richmond Park, CPZs, local politics, or human interest issues, your stories are very important to me. After all, Richmond prides itself on being a green leafy borough, but there are many hidden sides to the borough too.
