I am a storyteller and voice over specialist with a skill set spanning radio, TV, corporate platforms and podcasts. After a lengthy career in media and marketing across television, radio, tourism and education, I have a well-rounded knowledge and contact base. As a former TV journalist I have spent years crafting stories under pressure, on deadline and often with only one chance to get it right. That training translates to voice work—bringing sharp instinct, warmth and polish straight to the mic. I pride myself on delivering engaging, natural reads with real warmth and a knack for giving scripts real shape and feeling.
