Professional Profile

I work with live audiences. When I speak to a room, I help people listen — and stay listening.

​

My work sits at the intersection of live presence, storytelling, and broadcast-trained communication. Over more than two decades, I’ve worked in environments where attention matters — from radio studios and public ceremonies to corporate events, award settings, and recorded audio heard by large audiences. Across all of it, the constant has been the same: creating clarity, trust, and connection in real time.

​

I’m particularly interested in how rooms feel — how energy settles, how momentum is held, and how the right tone at the right moment can change an audience’s experience entirely.

​

How I Work​

  • Bring calm authority to live settings, with the ability to adjust pace and energy as the moment requires.

  • Approach shaped by years of working without a safety net — in live broadcast, in ceremonies that cannot be repeated, and in front of audiences who can sense immediately whether someone belongs in the room.

  • Value preparation, but work responsively. Listen first, speak with intention, and understand when silence does more than words.

  • Presence can be measured and reflective, or more upbeat and energetic — particularly in hosted events, award settings, or high-tempo environments where momentum and confidence matter.

  • The key is not performance, but attunement.

  • ​

Experience & Context

  • Live hosting and facilitation in public, private, and corporate settings

  • Broadcast and radio presentation in the UK and the Middle East, developing fluency with pace, timing, cues, and audience rhythm

  • Professional voiceover and audiobook narration, working from a broadcast-quality home studio on commercial, documentary, and long-form projects

  • Ceremonial work (weddings, funerals, life events), requiring trust, emotional intelligence, and the ability to hold complex rooms with care

  • Formal qualifications in celebrancy and recognized within that profession for influencing standards and practice. See this not as a separate identity, but as foundational training in presence, listening, and leadership in moments that matter.

  • ​

Where I Add Value

  • Audiences need to feel oriented, not managed

  • Tone matters as much as content

  • Trust must be established quickly

  • Energy needs to be held — not forced

  • The host or facilitator represents the room, not themselves

  • This includes conferences, corporate events, award ceremonies, moderated conversations, hybrid or broadcast-style events, and other live settings where human connection is central to success.

  • ​

Working Together

I work across the UK and internationally, and I’m comfortable collaborating with producers, agencies, and production teams who value preparation, discretion, and professionalism.

​

If you’re interested in work that prioritises presence, clarity, and genuine audience connection, I’m always open to thoughtful conversation.
