3. Job Description
   Host of Nova 100's dance show 'Oblivion' on Saturday nights and Producer of the Nova 19's weeknights with Whippy.
   
   
   
4. Hours (per week)
   Full-Time. The hours of work are endless!! We try to work very hard so that we get the best out of every show. I also produce 'Oblivion' which technically runs from 7pm til 6am. Because I'm supposedly the 'dance queen' (yeah right!!) - it's my job to source the music for that timeslot which is very time consuming but still a lot of fun.
   
   
   
5. What was your first job?
   At Melbourne's Youth Radio Station Hitz FM, 89.9. I started there when I was 15.
   
   
   
6. What inspired you to choose this particular career?
   I always said to myself that I wanted to work in an industry that was fun and didn't feel like work. It's always been a dream of mine to work at a commercial radio station. Dreams do come true!
   
   
   
7. What qualifications/experience are needed to work in this field?
   You would think that you'd have to go to some sort of radio school to get into an industry like this. I've only had life experience from working at Hitz for five years. I worked at Triple M for 6 months too and that taught me a lot.
   
   
   
8. What are the best aspects about your job?
   Getting to play the music I just love and work with awesome people.
   
   
   
9. What are the worst aspects?
   The hours. A jocks work is never done...
   
   
   
10. How many years' experience do you have in this field?
    6 years all up.
11. Are there many employment opportunities?
    It's hard to say… It's a very tough industry. But if you're determined, passionate and believe in what you want to do, you will eventually get there.
    
    
    
12. What makes you angry (at work or anytime)?
    Frustrated maybe? Men!
    
    
    
13. What are you passionate about?
    Music
    
    
    
14. Your favourite place in the world, and why?
    My family holiday house at the beach. It's just a place that seems so far away from anything. It's easy to chill and enjoy your surroundings.
    
    
    
15. What is your idea of the perfect day?
    A BBQ with mates in my backyard on a warm summers day with lots of chatter and laughs!
