Favourite guest or interview?
Shaquille O’Neil was hilarious, ex sportsmen and women tend to be less guarded and more revealing!
Best show you worked on?
I presented The BeIN sport Olympic breakfast show everyday of the London 2012 games, it was a great honour in my home country and also very interesting learning about new sports such as Greco Wrestling and Handball.
Embarrassing moment?
Jose Mourinho once gave what felt like a lifetime pause following a question I gave him, fortunately he eventually answered my question in a room full of journalists.
Goals?
I would like to continue to improve as a presenter, host and compare. Eventually I have personal career goals I would love to achieve and be a successful as I can through hard work and mainly because I love the job, the pressure and challenges it brings.
Have you ever had to use your German language skills at work?
In the champions league I covered Bayern Munich and it certainly helped give me an advantage, and let me do a small extra piece on what the local newspapers had been writing on the pre game show.
Is being a female in the sports industry tough?
To make it in any industry to the level I want to is tough, but I love the challenge and embrace it.
You’ve worked in Doha, Dubai, Milan but where has your favourite place you’ve been sent to work been?
Rio in Brazil was special, such a dynamic yet utterly beautiful place.
Favourite Sportsman?
Ever... would be Eric Cantana, but now I like Anthony Joshua. He is great example to many working class people and a testament to where hard work and transforming your life can get you. That said, being a Man United fan I’m excited to see the development of Marcus Rashford also. I also really admire and like Katarina Johnson-Thompson, she has a great personality and I have huge respect for Olympic athletes.
Favourite Sports Film?
Any Given Sunday. I’m hoping to go to the NFL in London at the new Spurs ground.
Venue?
Football wise the San Siro was impressive but if the weather is good, it’s hard to beat Wimbledon for the tennis or sitting on a boat at Cowes Week.
Sport?
Tough... Tennis, Football & Boxing equal!
TV show?
Love Island!
Holiday Destination?
I love Florida and America.
