TV Presenter

Career:
I ran fitness clubs before presenting a health and fitness slot on the Welsh magazine programme 'Heno'. I was asked to run a fitness club in the United States but I began working on the programme while waiting for my green card and I enjoyed my work so much I never got to the States! I got the job of presenting 'Sgorio' as I was a qualified FA football trainer.

I've travelled the world with 'Pacio' and 'Away Days' and I've also presented interesting programmes ranging from fishing to rafting!

The job:
As well as presenting, I also do voice-overs. The travel programmes' filming schedule is often very tight, particularly when we're doing Welsh and English versions at the same time. It's a great opportunity to see the world! I've been swimming with dolphins and diving in the Caribbean. I've also presented less glamorous, but equally satisfying, programmes – it's good to face challenges and have a bit of variety.

Sports presenting:
When I applied for the job of presenting 'Sgorio', there were few female sports presenters, but I had nothing to lose and I came from a football training background. The production company were prepared to break new ground. Some people think presenting is easy which means the presenter is doing their job well – every expert makes their craft look easy.

Highlight:
Presenting! It had always been my dream but I never imagined I would be presenting matches and holiday programmes from all corners of the world.

Low:
Being in an aeroplane that was struck by lightning!

Tips from the top:
Believe in yourself, even when no-one else does! Hold on to your dreams and persevere.

Other jobs:
I've done milk rounds before school, worked in Tesco, in a restaurant and behind a bar while at college, and I enjoyed the experiences at the time!
