Bio

I am an experienced entertainment personality who has worked extensively across film, television, theatre and advertising approaching three decades. I got my first break at a young age, fronting various advertising campaigns whilst still at school and recognised that entertainment was the profession I wanted to pursue. I enrolled in ‘The Journey’ at the Actors Centre graduating a year later. Over the next few years I appeared in various Television series including ‘Home & Away’ and ‘GP’, performing onstage in productions including ‘Talk to me like the Rain’ & ‘Under Milkwood’ and featuring in advertising campaigns for major Australian brands. Before I turned twenty I set off for a sabbatical in London and Europe where I continued to work. In 1993 I was engaged by Win TV to host ‘Kidzone’ leading on to reporting and presenting roles in entertainment and sport for the network. My reporting soon led to a reputation as a presenter of note, and comments made of my style include “effortless, intelligent and professional.” Completing a Masters Degree in Journalism from Wollongong University in 1996 I became a presenter across all the Australian television networks for ‘Hey Hey It’s Saturday’, ‘E News’, ‘Top Ten Countdown’, ‘Beauty and the Beast’, ‘Mornings with Kerri-Anne, ‘Breakfast from the Basement’, Qantas In-Fight services to name just a few. I have MC’d major events from company launches to entertainment and sporting events. I have many exclusive interviews with the likes of Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe. I have demonstrated myability to earn the trust of my interviewees with a relaxed and genuine approach. Most recently I continue to balance a busy career with being a proud wife and mother of two.
