BIOGRAPHY
"She’s not just a voice, she’s a storyteller, a passionate, imaginative and inspirational one." — Lee Markham, Author of Chestnut Tree Tales Born in South East England, I was brought up in Wales, went on to become an Australian citizen, and have a range of accents to match. With years of experience as an actor, radio presenter and compere, I like nothing more than bringing any copy to life. And apparently, I'm a pleasure to work with!
