What is your one ambition?
I have more than one....  I always struggle to give the best of myself in life, I'm quite a perfectionist in everything I do, so it's quite tiring... 

I'm the type of person that does not want to have any regrets, hence I try to do my utmost to make my dreams come true. My motto has always been "Whenever there's a will there's always a way".

 

What was your first job?
A summer job as sales assistant at the airport, departures area.  Way back it was my dream job working at the airport, meeting loads of different people... Today my perspective changed! I prefer to work with kids (helps to stay younger!!).

 

Fascinating fact about you?
I'm keen about everything that concerns the arts! Dancing, acting and drawing are my favourite.

 

One word you'd use to describe you
Complicated and hyper (non-stop literally)! I hardly sleep and even when I'm sick with fever, nothing stops me, unfortunately.  (just thinking about it... I need a break)!

 

You have Lm10 to spend on impressing someone - what would you buy?
The best way is to be yourself, but if I have to go for something else to help I definitely go for clothes although with Lm10 you can't buy much these days!

 

Your favourite memory?
I remember these very well... The first time I held my son Jeremy in my arms, the day he was born in 2003. When he first called me 'Mama', it was his first word! And recently, on mother's day, all mothers where invited to a small concert at school and seeing my son addressing a poem to me and singing 'I love you', I couldn't stop crying.  I'm so happy to be a mum.

 

Your most embarrassing moment?
Too embarrassing to repeat...

  

What's your most memorable on-air experience?
I was live on the radio but at the same time was presenting live a village fest, when I was still working with a community radio. It was such an extraordinary experience addressing the listeners and the audience in front of me. Also here at Capital, my 1st programme on New Year's day 2007.

 

What do Capital Radio's listeners mean to you?
A lot, without their support we are nothing. So thanks to all the listeners who are there everyday listening, and giving feedback. They become friends to you and I'm so pleased when I find and play that particular track they request, sometimes you make their day, and mine too! There are times when someone calls you back just to say thank you for playing their song... Its great when you make someone happy. 

 

Since I've been at Capital I have learnt that...

To be on the look-out for Ruben's & Steve's jokes...  Jokes apart it is a wonderful experience to be part of a great team... You really feel at home.
