    I’m an award-winning presenter, producer, and voiceover artist known for my versatility and passion for storytelling. My love for discussing current affairs, entertainment, and music has led me to interview an eclectic mix of guests—from fitness coach and author Joe Wicks to former NASA astronaut John McBride, and international music artists like Jay Sean. I’ve also had the pleasure of speaking with some of Bollywood’s biggest stars, including Saif Ali Khan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas.

    I also regularly host live events, having presented at the NAB Radio Show in New York, Podcast Futures in London, as well as major cultural events like Wembley Mela and the Brent Cross Diwali Celebrations. A festival enthusiast, I’ve reported live from iconic events such as The Isle of Wight Festival and Glastonbury.

    My passion for arts and culture stems from an early career on the West End stage in The Railway Children. I currently serve on the Board of Directors at Kali Theatre and work in the tours department at The Royal Opera House. As a trained singer, I perform regularly as a first soprano with Real Voices..

    With over eight years of experience as a radio presenter, I bring energy, authenticity, and warmth to every broadcast. My journey began in the world of acting and performance, where I discovered the powerful connection that storytelling and presence can create. That same passion now fuels my work on the airwaves—connecting with audiences, spreading joy, and creating moments that uplift and inspire. For me, radio isn’t just about talking—it’s about listening, sharing, and being part of something bigger. It’s a space where I get to be myself, and invite others to do the same. The joy of making someone’s day a little brighter is what drives me, and I’m grateful every day for the chance to do just that.

    Biography:

     

     

     

     

    I am a Television & Radio presenter, and an ‘Energy Alignment’ Coach. It may sound corny but, connecting with a wide range of people from across the globe is one of the reasons I love what I do. I would probably fail miserably to hold down, for more than a few months, a job that lacks this!
    The person you hear on radio or see on the telly is quite possibly not the real me – even I don’t know who that is! (Not sure I should’ve told you this) My family would probably describe me as: Polite, (they have no idea!), empathetic, caring, charitable and far too busy, a health freak obsessed about organic foods, and a chatterbox who easily loses track of time (30mins later and still explaining why she loves the colour yellow!) I love hanging out with positive peeps who practice empathy and carry with them a natural high for life, constantly motivating others to do well. I will always have time for these champs. Hot and spicy food is my weakness…like, seriously HOT!
    I have so many strengths they should have named me Samson! On second thoughts…he was a man, and Greek, so scrap that :-/ (The hair is probably the only thing in common – sorry Samson!) Love what you do, and do what you love…and you’ll never work another day in your life 😉
