Hi there I'm Nicola Rees… thanks for watching me on Inside Out in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

Since I started this job in 2005, I've worked on some fantastic local stories…

I've flown with the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Paramedics, bobsleighed in Austria with Britain's fastest woman on ice, and I've even learnt to drive a 2 Litre Westfield in the UK's most challenging uphill race, the Harewood Hillclimb.

You can probably see why I never complain about coming to work!

My background is Journalism; I trained at the University of Central Lancashire and then went on to work as a Reporter for BBC Radio Leeds.

Reporter of the Year

Already taken off...

Over the last few years I've worked on some big news stories for the station...

I've carried out investigations into cases of abuse in care homes in West Yorkshire, I've reported live from the scene of accidents and murders, I've had exclusive access to Police raids and undercover operations, and in 2006 I was crowned 'BBC Local Radio Reporter of the Year'.

When I'm not busy researching stories and interviewing people, I like being outdoors, whether it's walking my dog on Otley Chevin or running along the Meanwood Valley Trail in Leeds.

This latest series of Inside Out in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire is as exciting as ever, and I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoy working on it.

See you Wednesdays at 7.30pm.

Also - meet reporter Lucy Hester...
