Alison had designs on becoming a doctor, and was well on the way to Med school, when she was rudely interrupted by a radio career. She says her six months working in a psychiatric hospital was a great grounding for radio.. (dealing with the likes of Mark Bunting I'm sure that any knowledge of subduing mentally unstable people would become invaluable)

She has a wealth of broadcasting experience spending time in Christchurch, Nelson, Wellington and more recently Auckland where she has attained television skills with TVNZ's Goodmorning programme.

Alison loves to dance and was a New Zealand representative in 1994 at the South Pacific Dance Sports Championships.

She adores people, loves to perform and she says she is a "Self confessed show off" with a huge love of broadcasting.

Unfortunately, Alison has left the permanent staff of channel Z to pursue her T.V career. She will be dearly missed, but we know it's not the last we have heard of Alison, she says that she may pop back now and then to do a surprise spot on the on your Marks show. As well as these surprise appearance's she can be heard doing voice over's on many mediums of Advertising.

We wish you all the best Alison.
