I presented my first commercial radio show at the age of 15 and worked my way up to presenting the weekday evening show while still in High School. Until recently I presented the evening show on a Sunday and assisted at roadshows and outside broadcasts. I also worked with the programming team on looking after and maintaining all broadcast equipment and our office IT systems.

After leaving school I took up a part time position as Traffic Manager at Central FM. I would schedule all commercials and liaise with the programming team as to what copy was required for loading for playout. I would also act as holiday cover for traffic at Original 106 and Wave 102. After changes in the group I took up a new position as Head of Commercial Scheduling for all three radio stations

Looking after the scheduling needs of Central FM, Original 106 and Wave FM. From inputing local and national orders to loading copy and creating logs. Making sure that all orders are accurately booked, comply with the sales policy and achieve audience targets. Communicating availability, liaising with the sales teams and making sure deadlines are met. I also generated monthly invoices and financial reports for our Accounts department. At the start of 2017 I project managed the migration of all stations over to a new traffic system (Broadnet to RCS Aquira). Part of this project involved setting up split ad breaks for Wave FM which recently expanded into Perth. This allowed the sales team to sell separate ads for Perth or Dundee therefore maximising revenue. I also helped the sales team in the planning of agency campaigns making sure they reached the required CPT and TOH while ensuring the maximum yield for the station was achieved on each campaign.

I helped in the launch of Peter and Roughies Football show onto STV Glasgow. The show was simulcast on television and radio. I was responsible for running the vision mixer and ensuring that the show ran to its allotted time slot and was sent to STV in time for transmission.
