Writing about yourself is never easy, so forgive me if this starts to sound like a profile from a dating website!
As you probably already know by now, I work in television co-presenting The Wright Stuff on Five. But however many times I hear the count down to broadcast, it’s still a fairly surreal experience since it was only a few years ago I was a regular viewer at university. How times have changed!
It was acting that first got me interested in media. My parents took me along to the local drama classes starting at the age of ten, where I got the occasional walk-on part in TV and film. The climax of it was Grange Hill, which I was in for two years. Pretty soon, all the action behind-the-scenes caught my attention and before I knew it, I was studying media at college to learn more.
I went to De Montfort University in Leicester for three years to do a degree in Computing & Media, where I held down various bar jobs and gained a red belt in the Korean martial art, Tae Kwon-Do. I planned to continue training when I went down to Bournemouth to study an MA, but the work schedule didn't allow time for such extra curricular activities!
In my spare time I enjoy running, going to the gym, traveling, eating out and fiddling about with my French car. I also enjoy video editing and designing websites - like this one, which has had several faces over the years since I first acquired the domain in 1999.
I live in North West London, where I’ve lived all my life and can be regularly seen socialising in Watford.
As for the future, my ambition of settling into a job in front of the camera when I was 16 is still the same today - except stronger. I do have a lot of drive and determination to achieve my career goals and who knows, maybe one day you will see me presenting or reporting the news on the box. Watch this web space...
