While at the hospital bed she decided to change her career path to which made her happiest. At the time she was studying Law and after graduating she pursued journalism.
“I had an epiphany. It was just one of those moments when you think, ‘Are you really happy pursuing this career, do you really want to do this?'”
She and her then-boyfriend has just returned to their holiday apartment on the Greek isle of Zante when she leaned on the balcony rail and it gave way, sending them both crashing to the ground.
“It was all so sudden. I remember somehow getting up and rushing off to the flat below, where another, older, British couple were staying. They let me in and I remember collapsing on their floor. I had not registered my pain or that I had blood on me. They called the ambulance. I remember paramedics telling me we were getting airlifted to mainland Greece before sedating me on the plane.
I woke on a trolley in a hospital corridor. My boyfriend was nowhere to be seen. I was alone, vulnerable and terrified. It was a nightmare. I must have been about 22.
I’d wanted to be a news anchor since I was a little girl. But I was very academic so I did a law degree at Bristol University and did the Bar straight after that. After the accident, I went back to uni to do a post-grad in broadcast journalism. Sometimes life sends you messages. For me it was a sign to follow the career path that made me happiest.”
