Initially I hosted the late night show at Nova, however soon after I hosted the "Nova 19's" each weeknight from 6pm - 10pm.

After interviewing the likes of Justin Timberlake, Beyonce Knowles, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Paris Hilton I moved behind the scenes and became the Promotions Manager of Programming, creating and delivering unique and irreverent survey promotions, stunts, events and contests for the 16 – 35 year-old market.

In my final year at Nova I produced the weekday breakfast show (Hughesy, Kate & Dave), helping to make it the number one FM show in Melbourne. This involved managing the station’s highest profile talent, sourcing content, producing segments, organizing interviews and ensuring that breakfast content permeated all aspects of the station.
