I've been modelling since the age of 18. I've done catwalk, but the majority of my work is in advertising and I would like to move into commercials. I love to have fun on shoots and I'm always smiley, hardworking and enthusiastic on location. I get chosen as often for my funky afro as I do to be a business woman or a mum. In the past year I've done jobs for the RSCPA, Bupa, Lloyds Corporate Markets, Barclaycard Graduates and Alton Towers.

Acting experience

AA 'Very Keen' commercial
I'm was one of the AA team in the 'Very Keen' commerical.

Hanrahan Investigates
I had a speaking part playing a sexy secretary. This was a groundbreaking TV series developed for Channel 5.

Casualty @ Holby Christmas Special
I body doubled for the character Donna in the reverse shots for the dramatic Christmas day episode. This required learning several scenes and acting alongside the established cast members.

Zodiac shorts - BBC Worldwide:
I was one of the principal actors playing Aquarius in a series of shorts for BBC worldwide. Each film depicted one of the twelve signs of the zodiac and was filmed in a number of different locations. I was required to ad lib each situation set up by the director based on the traits of the star sign I was playing.

I have also had walk-on roles is several episodes of Casualty and ITV drama Walk Away and I Stumble.

Television experience

Deal or no Deal
I appeared on the first prime time Saturday night 'Deal or No Deal' on C4. I played a until the final two boxes, took the right deal at the right time and beat the banker! I still get recognised - mostly from people admiring my courage - it got so tense I cried (as did most people watching!) You can also see me on the first Deal or no Deal interactive DVD game.

Presenting experience

Rocks & Co. Sky Channel 642
I am currently a presenter on this live jewelry shopping channel. My role is to bring the gemstones to life for our customers, drive sales and to generate excitement and enthusiasm for our falling auctions. Each show is a live multi-camera format lasting 1-2 hours. I also conduct guest interviews. We work as a team utilising talkback to feed infromation from the producer and director.

QVC Presenter Search
I was the last female finalist coming third in QVC's search for a new presenter. I went through 3 months of auditions and presenter training school before selling a range of products over a six week run of live shows. I sold a variety of products live on QVC in front of a judging panel and our fellow contestants.

Generius
This was an online gaming site with live streamed presenters. I presented three games; fixed odds poker, wheel of fortune and super hi-lo (a play your cards right format). I explained the games, how to bet and the returns as advised by the producer via talkback. I chatted about all sorts of topics, bantered with the regulars via a chatbox and welcomed new players as they joined the game.

Party People
I was one of the 'party girls' on this popular live Sky show. The show runs 7 days a week from 11am until 8pm. The all female show is fun, bubbly, energetic and interactive. You interact with callers on the phone and via text usually with a second presenter and sometimes alone. Because it's a live chat show you need to think on your feet and the flirty nature of the show means you can really have fun with the callers and co-presenters.


Quiz Time / Cash House
In 2006 I have presented Quiz Time Barbados, Quiz Time Jamaica, Quiz Time Trinidad and Cash House UK. Each programme is a live television quiz show. I have presented a hour solo and half an hour handing over to a second presenter. There was no script, live callers and no room for error! I really enjoyed the shows and loved the energy and pressure o
