Born in Cape Town and raised in a little village nestled in the Usutu Valley in Swaziland, provided a beautiful contrast to my early life. Ever the adventurer, I attended boarding school in Pietermaritzburg as well as two years of university before dropping out to 'explore freedom' as a waitress in the terrifying metropolis of Johannesburg. Training as an air traffic controller returned me to my birthplace and my mountain where I was working on my 'happily ever after', until stardom/self-humiliation in the form of reality television summoned me back to Gauteng. Miles away from friends and family, I finally found a home...at 702.

| These are hard questions... who came up with these? They should be shot for putting us on the spot like this... honestly! From a career perspective, I'm really lucky because I'm surrounded by every radio personality I have ever aspired to be. I have their talent on tap every day. I must say that the person I am most in awe of here, is Jenny. May I one day be as well-read, informed, involved in community interests and as able to have a conversation completely on my own as she is! She truly is a modern day wonder-woman. On a personal level, I pride myself on finding inspiration in the people I meet every day. |

| That which is not glued down in my home, gets chewed! |
|
| Hell yes! What happens more frequently though, is that I realise that my mouth is moving and my head has no idea what it's saying. Then it's a mental race for the brain to catch up before I say something monumentally stupid... sometimes I succeed and sometimes I don't! |
| My future husband... first dates are interviews, after all! |
