There's an innate passion for what I do. Whether it be news-reading, reporting on the traffic or voicing commercials.. I'm dedicated to producing quality content. I'm in the unique position of working in all three areas (news/traffic/voiceover) within the working week.. and for that.. I am truly grateful. I've been on radio since 2007 and am currently heard on mainstream capital city and regional markets all over Australia. Also.. ** Primary school teacher for 11 years (that provided an excellent foundation for work in the media) ** Published author - picture story book 'Do you believe?'.. (sold to more than 150 schools in Australia) ** Bit of acting.. had a few roles.. loads of fun.
