While I am excited for the future I can say that this is still incredibly heart-breaking to write…
Today is my last day as part of the PlayStation Access team 💔
That's it!
The last episode of Night City Wire before Cyberpunk 2077 launches on December 10th
It's been one hell of a ride and incredible project to be part of, even if I am terrible at learning scripts 🤣
Thank you to everyone who's watched and sent such nice comments ❤️
After nearly 2.5 years today is my last day at CD PROJEKT RED.
I'm starting a new opportunity in the industry soon yet this was still an incredibly hard decision to make because despite all the ups and downs I've loved the people and my time here.
Thank you ♥️
I can't believe I have to say this but Content Creators, if we share something with you that is under embargo, like giving you early access to news, trailers, and announcements, this also means you can't tell your other content creator friends.

I *instantly* fell in love with these when I spotted them at the studio, they're so damn cool❤️

Happy 1st work anniversary to meeeeee!

I once tweeted that I needed new glasses and a very nice guy who worked at Specsavers slid into my DMs telling me to come to the store he worked in so he could help me find some and I took him up on that offer.
Today and I are celebrating our 8 year anniversary❤️
I don't think I've really had time to sit down and take it all in but seeing this really hit me, it's all very real now and it's making me a bit emotional❤️😭
Thank you to everyone who tuned into the very first episode of #NightCityWire. Excited to be back soon with Episode 2!
Yes, I filmed it in my PJs bottoms, no regrets 😂😂
Also, thank you to for getting me a set of their key lights for filming, I'm super greatful🙏
Since I'm Welsh it's my duty to say it's not only time for Xmas but also time for the Mari Lwyd, a special mid-winter tradition.
Don't know what this tradition is all about? Buckle up, it's a wild ride.
Awwww this morning my wonderful (and very supportive) boyfriend surprised me with blue and yellow flowers to help me celebrate Cyberpunk launch day!
A few people asked about the chair I was using during Night City Wire and it's the brand new OMEGA 2020 Cyberpunk 2077 edition which has *just* gone live!

Me playing The Sims 4:
▪️ Spend 2hrs finding and downloading custom content.
▪️ Spend 1hr creating sims.
▪️ Spend 6hrs+ building a house and meticulously decorating it.
▪️ Play with said sims in new house for 22min before starting the process again.
Happy birthday to meeee! 🎉
Kinda strange to not be seeing my family and friends this year but demolishing a whole box of donuts and a bottle of prosecco before lunch is still pretty awesome ❤️
Another year older but none the wiser!
So here is a thread about all the random things *I've* learned on my fitness journey...
Over the last year I've lost 30lbs, gone from 32" waist jeans to 27" and I've finally got some muscle and body shape; my arms are no longer noodles. It's been an interesting experience.
Working from home with a puppy 😑
He's now developed a habit of hitting my hands everytime I try and type.
The Witcher 3 is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X!
We've got a visually and technically enhanced vision coming but if you already own it then there is a free upgrade😘

Last year CDPR staff got team jackets (like the press ones but ours had a special patch on them) and this year we got Cyberpunk Squad jumpers!
The hidden caribina is a nice touch 👌
They're super cool but it makes me sad we didn't have a chance to wear them together :(
Hi , I'm very sorry but I can't work today due to a protest taking place in front of my PC, the demands are for better treats and more playtime. It's peaceful now but I fear this could turn violent at any moment.
At midnight tonight, I'm going to jump on a Google Hangout with the team to celebrate the launch of Cyberpunk 2077
I miss them so much and I wish we could have all been together but it hasn't been possible so instead, we will connect form our home offices all over the world❤️
I just want to take a moment to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas🎄
I know that thanks to COVID this isn't exactly the Christmas that many of us had planned but none the less I want to take a moment to wish you all good health and happiness.
Now, it's mulled wine time!🍷
I have picked up my E3 badge!
It's all starting to feel very real now, I work for CD Projekt Red and this is my first ever E3 as part of the team ♥️
#Cyberpunk2077 HYYYYPE
How is this FOUR YEARS AGO?!
Honestly, time doesn’t seem to have meaning any more 😂
*New job alert*
A few people have already guessed but I’ve started as the new Head of Influencers and Engagement at !
I’m leading a very talented team which covers events and working with influencers across all our games on a global level, it’s very exciting!
It might have been cold but I was totally down for shamelessly snapping selfies on my balcony in Warsaw this morning 😂
How is PlayStation Access 10 years old?! Gotta say I’ve got some damn good memories 😭❤️
Procrastinating and avoiding real world things like DIY and cleaning to take selfies and watch the F1 Qualifying.
Also, excited that we announced Episode 5 of Night City Wire yesterday!
I feel incredibly lucky to be involved with them, I always look forward to each episode ❤️
Start of a new day ^^
To those who tweeted me last night with messages of kindness, understanding, and positivity even though you were disappointed, I just want to say thank you.
Now, let's do this!
Thanks for joining us for Night City Wire ep 4!
Been super excited to show this one, the detail on vehicles is insane and I've been dying to give just a little bit more insight into the fashion and styles ❤️
Looking forward to being back with Night City Wire Ep5 soon!
Ok, I need a show of hands because who under the age of 40 has a working printer in their home?!
I'm trying to send a parcel and need to print my own shipping label but seriously, who actually owns a working printer except for my parents and grandparents?
Told by a fellow ex-Game Station employee that I got my job just because I'm a woman 🤔
Since then I've helped launch some *incredible* games plus the PS4, was on the cover of GamesTM, won multiple awards, helped grow a YT channel to 1.7mil subs and now I work on Cyberpunk 2077!

Tech Twitter: Tell me about a time someone underestimated or dismissed you and what amazing things you’ve gone on to do since then?
RT for reach if y’all want a bunch of victory stories 
...and I'm not just excited for you to see the very first episode, I'm also excited to say that I will be back in front of the camera and hosting Night City Wire!❤️

Join us tomorrow, June 25 at 6PM CEST, at twitch.tv/cdprojektred for the first, 25 minute episode of #NightCityWire, where we are going to show you a brand new trailer, present fresh gameplay footage and chat with the devs in detail about one of the game features, braindance.
On my Facebook page someone just tried to dismiss my opinion on politics because they're a developer and I'm just a 'media presenter'.
A) That's multiple award-winning Media Present
B) ...turned UK Head of Communication for a developer. Prick.
Nice try. #ToriesOut

From the bottom of my heart thank you to everyone who has support me, I’m incredibly grateful <3
Finally hit 64kg!
That's 8kg lost and 4kg to go until I hit my goal. Cravings for M&Ms won't go away but I do like how healthier I feel!
Excited to say I will be presenting the Best Community award at this year's #GoldenJoysticks awards!

Remember my tweet about something awesome I was working on? Well this is it! Thank you so much 😃😃
1. This isn't a compliment
2. No it didn't
3. Passionate about gaming, working hard > how I look.
😑😑😑
Mentally and emotionally the last 24hrs have been a bit of a whirlwind. Its' almost impossible to reply to everyone individually but I just want to thank you all so much for the kind words and messages I've received, it really means a lot ❤️

Leaks that came via this friend don't only cause panic, stress, and work for the teams internally, but it genuinely has a last impact on how we can work with creators. What we can share and show you in the future will all be affected, and it SUCKS (and kinda breaks my heart).
Happy 1st birthday !
I may no longer be part of it but I’m excited to watch it grow from afar.
It was both a breathtaking and a challenging time, but I learned a lot.
I hope many more get a chance to explore and fall in love with Night City and what it holds 🥂
Is it sad that I'm incredibly excited for Cyberpunk to launch so I can FINALLY talk about my favorite radio tracks and everyone will know what I mean and can also listen to them with me?!🤣
To the person on this train also playing their PlayStation Vita, I salute you.
*knowing look, head nod*
I bought a ring light and now I'm unashamedly living my best, well lit, life.
Thank you to everyone who voted for in the "Most Wanted" category at this years Golden Joystick awards!

Final Fantasy VIII was released in Japan on this date 20 years ago!
It remains as not only my favourite Final Fantasy game but also one of my favourite games of all time ❤️
Oh, I also don't care if you disagree. Like, I *really* don't care.

Celebrating another birthday in Lockdown!
At least this year restrictions have lifted enough that I can be home with my family and that South Wales has at least granted me a few hours of sunshine 😂
I've made it to 34 and I will spend the day playing Pokémon Snap!
Last night was the #WomenInGamesAwards and I was lucky enough to take home the award for Influencer Of The Year. It's hard to express just how overwhelmed and thankful I am for this and all your kind messages❤
Also, here some bathroom selfies because good lighting is a blessing
Cyberpunk 2077 will be coming December 10th.

Feels awesome to pick up my GDC pass and see my new job title and company on a badge for the very first time.
This one is going in my collection ❤
Got a new phone and now it tells me the exact number of unread emails across my Gmail accounts and every time I look at my phone I feel sick.
#E32019 is about to start!
If #Cyberpunk2077 wasn't enough we have now officially announced The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition is coming to Nintendo Switch in 2019!
Wake the f*** up, Samurai. We have a city to burn!

It's that time of year where I once again consider replaying Dragon Age Inquisition instead of starting one of the many, many games in my backlog.
Is It weird that I'm actually a little bit jealous of people who will be experiencing the opening to Mass Effect 2 for the very first time?
It might be one of the very best opening scenes to a game and with the right audio you can *feel* every moment of it too. It's incredible.
Replying to
None the less it’s time for me to move on to a new job in the industry and a new challenge.
I’ll be able to tell you where I am going very soon and if you want to follow me I’ll be back on my personal Twitch channel in the next few weeks –
Had dental surgery this morning to remove a wisdom tooth and now I'm eating painkillers like M&Ms.
I planned to put my Christmas tree up today to distract me but considering how I feel I'm glad I didnt wait.
Instead, have some nice pics before my face got bruised and swollen 🤣
Off to EA Play which means I'm going to hold the bags while they play FIFA.
All this talk of OLED and handheld consoles makes me miss my PS Vita😭
Not only did it have loads of games and great battery life, but it was super tough! I used to throw it in my handbag without a care in the world. Travelled everywhere with it!
I can't be the only one?!
10 years ago slid into my DMs telling me he could get me discount from the SpecSavers store he worked at.
I took him up on that offer (glasses ain’t cheap after all) and now we’re celebrate our 10th anniversary together ❤️
So I'm done with that screenshot but remember:
Don't DM people to "compliment" their breasts.
Then when they block you don't start another account to DM them again to call them a f***ing c*** for not liking your original DM.
Don't be that person.
You'll get blocked, again.
Back from Warsaw and my little puppy became incredibly poorly overnight, vomiting nonstop from about 1am.
He's been admitted to our local vet hospital and he's going in for surgery possibly this evening.
My heart is breaking for him💔
Please send good vibes for my little Rupert.
I've got *a lot* of emails to answer right now but all I was is a glass of wine and a moment to jump back into Night City 😂❤️

It’s been a dream job where I’ve been lucky enough to see amazing games meet fantastic people and travel the world but best of all was simply being part of the Access team.
, , , and @RosieCaddick88 thank you for everything
Celebrating our win at the Golden Joystick Awards last night in style 😂
Unluckily for me it means I need to head to the gym to pay for my sins but I am looking forward to flying back to Warsaw for a few days tomorrow.
Arrived at the CD PROJEKT RED and got to meet the newest member of the team, the adorable Shiba Inu puppy, Kimchi 🐶
I've spent the last 5 years presenting but I hadn't felt this kind of nervous excitement in a long time, working at CD PROJEKT RED and on Cyberpunk 2077 really is a dream job.
Thank you , and for joining me❤️- youtu.be/SVAryZ0GLwE
