I'm an experienced and professional TV presenter and model. I'm always on the look out for new projects to get involved in.
I'm easy to work with, reliable and a fast learner.
In regards to modelling my levels are fashion, beauty and lifestyle.
As a person I'm very bubbly and outgoing. I'm interested in politics, current affairs, fashion, beauty and music.

TV experience:
Guest Presenter on Mid Morning Show: (08/02/08) - (20/02/08)
DMDigital (Television House, 33-35,Turner Street, Manchester, M4 1DW United Kingdom)
Role: To discuss current affairs in a 15 minute slot once to twice a week.
I would research at home via the internet and come to the show with bullet points written on paper which I would use to prompt myself as there was no autocue.
The show was always broadcast live. I would occasionally talk to the showâs host but it was mainly me talking to the camera or a caller.
Senior News Reader: (20/02/08 - 20/02/09)
DMDigital (Television House, 33-35,Turner Street, Manchester, M4 1DW United Kingdom)
I would come into work at 11.30pm and write the lunchtime news which needs to be 15 minutes long then the local news Manchester Today which is 10 minutes long. I did my own make-up and record live at 12.30 with a 5 minute advert break between the two shows. All of my research was done online. I then conduct any phone interviews I had arranged the day before. Next I would write the 3pm news which is 10 minutes followed by the 5pm news which is 15 minutes long. I did all the news live. Throughout the day I would do a report if I found anything interesting going on in Manchester. I would also source interviews or go out and do voxes.
For a sample of some of the things I did at the station please see my show reel here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9gvgmSnv3c
You can also see me reporting on a charity football match here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6aZZ4_Ouog
Other:
I have filmed a pilot for a crime watch style show and a mid morning show. I've also done a voice over for an advert for the same channel.
Skills:
Research and script writing: I have learnt how to keep lines short so the viewers do not lose interest while including all relevant information. There are very strict deadlines that I always stick to.
Source and Secure interviews: I always try to keep the interview relevant to the weeks news. We very rarely have a video link so normally my image is the only movement on screen. I always have to be sure that my expression shows interest and that I ask all the right questions. Of course I enjoy face to face interviews far more.
Bringing the public's views to the show: I will go out into Manchester and ask people their opinions on various topics. You need to know how to ask the right questions. You canât be shy or stop to explain. It is simply a matter of putting the microphone in front of them and asking. If they don't want to speak to you then you move on.
Technical skills: Simple things like learning how to load the autocue myself and turning the studio lights on and off have been helpful to my producer. I do all my own make up, it was a matter of trial and error before I learnt what looks good on TV.
Good presenting skills: I always make sure my expression and tone are relevant. I have learnt that movement canât be too large as it is distracting but sitting still can make you look wooden. It is a delicate balance that I feel I have achieved. A good presenter never shys away from a challenge and should not be afraid if the autocue is not at hand.
Team work: I always try to make life as easy for my producer as possible. I put all my images and scripts on a memory stick for him and hand write the headlines with the order the pictures need to appear at least 15 minutes before we film. If I am not in the next day I write a clear handover to the other presenter going over any interviews I have sourced for them.
