Brief career biog (Please keep to one paragraph):

I had my first taste of presenting when I worked on the Late Show as a researcher in 97, from there I moved into the newsroom as a journalist in Coventry. You may have heard me over the years standing in on the breakfast, afternoon and drivetime shows as well as reading the news and reporting. Every so often I have also been known to stand in for Shefali on Midlands Today! I teamed up with Geoff Foster for the Saturday Morning Early Show before taking a break to have my son!

My job is great as every day holds new experiences! From working under pressure to meeting different people all the time, it’s packed with satisfaction!

Give us a fascinating fact about yourself:

I’ll give you two! I used to represent Warwickshire at race walking and I once made a cup of tea for Prince Charles when he visited Ryton Organic Gardens as their patron – so if I ever make you a cuppa you’re lucky as it come by Royal Appointment only!
