I was a reporter, news reader and producer in radio and TV news and also produced and voiced several documentaries for radio as well as presenting a half hour TV news programme at one stage. I ran my own business making corporate videos for 8 years and also shot, edited and voiced research news videos as part of my career at a high-profile UK university.

I also have experience in live event narration, and dramatic monologue reading, most recently for ‘Sherwood Voices’, and Excavate Theatre Company production.
