What did you have for breakfast this morning?
Rice Krispies cereal. Nowt exciting!
What do you do when you're not doing VEE-TV?
Am currently studying psychology and educational development at Nottingham
Trent Uni.
What do you like most about VEE-TV?
RUSH, and the fact that the prog is in BSL.
Have you always wanted to work in the media?
No, not really. I like doing it sometimes, but definitely not as my permanent
job. Too stressful and competitive!
How did you get started?
I was asked to be in Channel 4's The Vibe a few years ago.
What do you think is the most important issue facing the Deaf community
at the moment?
Education. A lot of young people are brought up using the oral method,
and being sent to mainstream school, they don't really have a chance to
see what the Deaf community is like, and develop/know their identity.
What are your ambitions?
To work in the Deaf community, especially with children. Definitely linked
with education but not being a teacher!
Can you recommend something that you really enjoyed recently – book,
show, film, website, whatever?
I'm terrible with the names of films but my all-time favourite book is
Trust Me by Lesley Pearse. She is a fantastic writer – so moving.
Her other books are also brill.
What's your perfect day?
When it's sunny and warm, with everything going my way – and especially
when shopping and finding loads of clothes I like (and having the money
to buy them with!).
