She became a BBC News trainee in London in October 1989 and worked in newsrooms throughout the UK for the BBC and was one of the few women reporters in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War. She was at BBC Radio York for four years. Her television debut came about after a late Look North bulletin found itself without a presenter.
