Presenting
Between 2016 and 2017 I trained and volunteered with UKRD’s Eagle Radio Breakfast Show as part of their Radio Academy in Guildford and went on to present a VT show for their sister station, Eagle3. (Eagle Radio has since been acquired by Bauer Media and rebranded to Greatest Hits Radio).
In 2022, I volunteered at Hospital Radio Chelmsford as a live presenter, playing patient requests, sharing local and national headlines and chatting with my fellow presenters to keep listeners company while undergoing their hospital treatments.
From 2023 to 2025, I volunteered as a presenter with Shine Radio Petersfield, hosting one 3 hour VT and one 4 hour VT Breakfast show per week. My interviews and shows had a segment called Mental Wellbeing Wednesdays, where I focused on Mental Health and spoke to local and national experts, charities and organisations to raise awareness and open up the conversation around Mental Health in an accessible way.
Radio Presenting
In my opinion, the best radio presenters are the ones who are open, collaborative and exhibit a genuine curiosity in the people they are hosting, interviewing or entertaining through the airwaves. I will always strive to be as authentic as I can be - audiences want to know the people who soundtrack their daily lives, they want to feel a real connection, and that is what I aim to deliver.
I have lead and participated in Road Safety Campaigns in memory of my sister, Kelly, for many years. We lost her in a road traffic collision in 2005 and it changed my family’s life forever but I believe that our loss doesn’t have to be for nothing if we can share her story to help others.
Road Safety Campaigning
I volunteered with Safe Drive Stay Alive Surrey alongside Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, Surrey Police, Frimley Park Hospital, Secamb and other victims of RTCs, from 2005-2017. I shared Kelly’s story to audiences of 900 young people per show in the hope that it would bring the dangers of driving to light for young people. In 2016 I took part in SDSA’s 200th show at Dorking Halls in Surrey.
When I was 18 I created a documentary called Dying to Drive with the charity Fixers UK which was aired on ITV Meridian to raise awareness of the risks of dangerous driving, as one of the biggest killers of young people aged 17-24.
Fixers UK and ITV also facilitated the Road Savvy Forum in London in September 2013, where I spoke on a panel and worked alongside other young people on a Road Safety Green Paper which was later presented to parliament.
