Giving tips and advice and having fun a long the way. Parenting has it's ups and downs. But having Rob, Abi (who died at 1 year but is always with me), and Emily is part of my intended fabric, and I love it.

Talk Radio 702 (Johannesburg)

I did a weekly health & lifestyle segment (Produce content and then take part in show). It was on Talk Radio 702 weekend breakfast with various presenters on Saturday’s and Sunday’s between 6:20 and 6:30am. After a great long run our relationship ended amicably, but was with immediate effect due to me being targetted by a case of Social Media trolling.

Worked for Supersport Blitz, DSTV Channel 200, started as a journalist producing content for the channel. I did work on camera for the channel as well, most notably being based in PE for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The bulk of my work was as a Content Editor/Journalist, handling the work flow and assignments for journalists. I also did live voiceover work for the channel, and other commentary & script writing work for the company. Blitz Live; we produced a live presentation show three days a week for a few months in 2013, before budget constraints cancelled it. I was one of the two people who basically build the structure up from scratch, going on to produce it. After nearly 8 years of dedication to Blitz and despite my senior position and all my input in the product, work was being slashed across the board. We couldn’t come to a fair agreement, so a separation was agreed upon.
