Betsan has been 成人快手 Wales鈥� political editor since autumn 2006, following a short stint as culture correspondent.
Before that she spent four years in London as a reporter on the current affairs series, Panorama, working on everything from stories about child abuse, the cancer drug, Herceptin to an expose filmed over many months on dodgy chicken.
She started her career with the 成人快手 in London as a news trainee 鈥� and was well and truly hooked while watching live reports of the Berlin Wall coming down. A year later she was sent to the Cardiff newsroom to learn the ropes.
That meant editing other people鈥檚 items in Welsh and English, for radio and television before taking up the chance to become a reporter herself.
In 1992 she spent election night in Scotland where the SNP promised an interview with Alex Salmond 鈥� 鈥渢he First Prime Minister of Scotland鈥�.
He did turn up 鈥� but the job he鈥檇 hoped for didn鈥檛.
After three years of fighting newsroom producers for more than 1鈥�30 to tell her stories, came a move to work in current affairs and the world of half-hour programmes.
Betsan did a stint at ITV Wales鈥� Y Byd ar Bedwar before returning to the 成人快手 to work on Week In Week Out and Taro Naw, making a series of award-winning programmes.
She learned a lot, fast, about tough interviewing and stashing secret cameras in handbags 鈥� the former rather more useful these days than the latter. (honest).
On the night of the yes to devolution vote, Betsan was working with Radio 5 presenter Eddie Mair and at the count, was given a desk in a quiet, unglamorous corner.
Fortunately the fax machine was there too ... the one that spat out the all-important result from Carmarthen. Scoop!
In the past she鈥檚 spent election night sitting comfortably on the sofa, interviewing the politicians.
In May she鈥檒l be in the hot seat next to presenter, Huw Edwards.
