I'm also keeping my journo hat on and filming my next documentary wooooo
It's so nice rekindling and reconnecting with close family and friends and experiencing life in a completely different environment with different norms and customs
I look forward to the rest of my time here and can't wait to share my further work with you all
Growth is a process x
There is always a first time for everything. Waking up each day this week at 04:30 am for work is something that I've never done before, and something that has added to the most challenging, exciting, lively, mind-blowing month of my life.
Tony Hall & Chris Evans
I exchanged words and conversations with such hard-working, successful and affluent people. Surround yourself with success and you shall become one!
I don't want to give too much away as I'll speak about it in more depth in my November VLog, but one thing I'll say is working on the Chris Evans breakfast show was such a flavoursome and uplifting experience knowing that there are people that wake up at such crazy hours in the morning but still have the most bubbly and kind spirit.
I feel almost honoured to work at the BBC, not just for its status name; but for the fact that everyone I am surrounded by deserve to be there.
My body was challenged this week as straight after work I required plenty of rest as I would often be in the office/studio from 5.45am to 3pm. The hours would usually fly by due to the children in need auction madness and celebrity guests flying in and out, and as soon as I would get home I had no other urges except to relax; I didn't want my body getting into overdrive!
The Chris Evans breakfast show raised over £5 million in the course of this week, and I'm so proud in saying that I was a part of that; writing cues on celebrity guests and physically bringing them into the studio from all of the paparazzi madness. Children In Need has always been a cause very close to me and it's overwhelming knowing how many people dig crazy amounts deep to help. Beautiful.
Socialising is something that must always be incorporated with a busy schedule, and winning tickets to see Kwabs live in an intimate gig was amazing!! Such a great highlight to my week. His voice is extraordinary and the experience was priceless. Honestly the best things in life are free! I've always wanted to see him in concert and this was the best experience of him that I could have ever asked for. Incredible night.
Also, meeting the Director General of the BBC was literally the icing on the cake! I expected Tony Hall to be a lot more quiet for some reason, but he turned out to be the most bubbly, kind and conversational gentleman! Upmost respect for his constant optimism and joyous character, I guess that's the persona that will get you far, especially when you run the whole of the BBC.
This week in a nutshell has been fantastic/amazing/wowowow!
My November VLog is out on the last day of this month explaining and showing this entire amazing month in detail ~ stay tuned!

Yes I do love to do a bit of everything. Yes this entails me being quite busy. Yes I always make time for things that matter and count and of course the necessities such as socialising and sleep!
But most importantly, yes; I do love what I do.
I now co-host for BEN Television and absolutely love the diversity and comparison when looking at BEN TV and the BBC; both very dynamic and well known television channels that aid to wider audiences.
As well as intensively learning and training about the radio industry at BBC Radio 2, I'm actively presenting at BEN TV.
It's all about constant growth, practice, hard work, devotion, and determination. My passion is constantly being recognised and I'm humbled by that. However, there is ALWAYS room for improvement and ALWAYS room for growth. Let's get it!
