1. Which place, or city or country do you most feel at home in?
The UK is home for me. Leicester is and will always be home, but London is now home from home due to work commitments, and I love the balance.
2. What are your proudest achievements?
Winning best female radio presenter for Sabras Radio & working with some amazing sports personalities for my PR company
3. What inspires you?This one is easy my husband Raj very talented media personality who always supports his people & I would not have got where I am without his support and continued drive. He has been there on this journey and is the genius behind Missy when it comes to the media aspect of yours truly.
4. What has been biggest obstacle in your career?
One of the biggest obstacles is juggling everything. Working in the media but also in the world of finance can be a balancing act - sometimes 2 hours sleep but I would not change this as I love life at 100mph
5.Who has been the biggest influence on your career to date?My parents - my family have supported me from day one in everything that I wanted to do. They have supported me with all of the big decisions in life and been with me on this journey from the start, they are always by my side or in the audience cheering the loudest and for that I am grateful.
6. What is the best aspect about your current role?I love the travelling that comes with the job, been lucky enough to travel to Mumbai, Cannes, and Canada. I love the glitzy events and the main thing meeting some amazing people from across the globe. The buzz that I get when hosting from a red-carpet event I love.
7.And the worst?Not having enough time to fit in me time.
(This is where my summer vacancy comes in).
8.What are your long-term goals?This one I want to keep under my belt for now, but I have something that I will be working on in 2022 and I cannot wait to share this when the time is right.
9. If you were Prime Minister, what one aspect would you change?
This is a hard one. How long is a piece of string. There is so much that I would want to do. NHS being at the top of my list I feel this field does not get the recognition it deserves, lots of young children do not get the support they need & of course helping those in need.
10. If you were marooned on a desert island, which historical figure would you like to spend your time with and why?I am not old enough to answer this! If I were on an island it would have to be Princess Diana - I love her life story, the women she was and everything she stood for. I am all about strong grounded women, standing up for what you believe in, and this lady was all of these things.
