I'm Gareth Rees. I'm a journalist based in Cardiff, Wales. My passion for writing and journalism started in high school, and I have progressed since. Over five years later, I'm proud to have written over 25 pieces of work and produced many stories from a range of different subjects. I am also proud to be an autistic journalist. 

I am passionate about people and reporting on news that matters to a wider audience. My interests include sport, music, television and film. Throughout my professional practice I have worked with the BBC and various other organisations which has helped me develop my skills. Since September, I have committed to over 170 hours of placement where I have undertaken roles in all forms of media, including visual, audio and written content. A selection of my work is displayed on this website and my contact information is below.
