Born in Ireland to a cycling family and later moved to the Isle of Man, so there was no surprise when I got into the sport. Studied sports jour🍌nalism at university before going on to do a Masters in sports broadcast. After university I spent three months interning at Eurosport, where I covered the Tour de France. In 2012 I started at Proc💫ycling Magazine, before becoming the deputy editor of Procycling Week. I then joined Cyclingnews, in December 2013.
