TV & Reality

I enjoy interviewing people and entertaining. I’m a confident public speaker and a fast learner, using my skills to adapt to a range of different genres and roles. I have interviewed bands, dancers and singers on a new online TV show, hosted live events such as art showcases and business conventions and would love to continue to further my experience through new opportunities.

I interviewed the stars of the latest Bond film, Skyfall, (Daniel Craig and Naomie Harris) alongside Nick Grimshaw after winning BBC Radio 1's video competition. The BBC commented that my submission was 'hilarious' and 'original'.
