I work in professional radio as a presenter and currently do voice-overs mainly for local companies and radio adverts. I have also done voices for online comics/cartoons etc. I started getting interested in radio when I was just five years old! It all started with a small crystal radio kit I had got for christmas that year, and I had managed to pick up a pirate station! Voice overs came later when I was told I had a knack for making people laugh with my impersonations of children's cartoon characters! I studied higher music up to GCSE at school and after leaving went to hospital radio to learn as much as I could. Later on, I was offered a break by Rod Lucas who let me co-present on his show on Valle FM (spain), and the rest is history! Rod has been my mentor and has taught me most of what I know about radio presenting and voice-overs. The rest has all been through experience. I am a real people person and particularly have an affinity with young children. I mix professional with fun!
