Jo is a beloved performer, writer, TV and radio presenter. Since being discovered performing stand-up comedy in a dingy pub sometime in the early 2000’s, she has become loved for her warm and honest brand of content. Her 20 year career in radio included 2 record breaking, number 1 breakfast shows which makes her one of Australia’s most successful radio hosts.
Jo writes a regular column for the Sunday Life Magazine, and is the creative force behind the Play Like A Girl kids book series. Her podcast credits include Best of You for the House of Wellness, Pod of the 3rd Age for Ryman Health, and A to Be with Mimi Kwa. Her performance style, which is heavily influenced by her stand-up comedy roots, makes her a much sought-after MC and speaker.
In between all these very rewarding roles, Jo has now turned her vast media experience into building Broad Radio – Australia’s first radio network for women, by women, and a platform that will amplify the full diversity of women’s voices and stories.
Jo is passionate about mindfulness and meditation, and its profound benefits for mental health. She is also an advocate for women’s and girl’s health and gender equality. In support of these issues, Jo is a patron for Lighthouse Foundation, a patron for Wellsprings for Women, and an ambassador for Left Write Hook and Fitted for Work

Jo is an absolute professional and amazing at what she does. We used Jo as our MC at this event for the second year in a row. She has an amazing ability to connect with audiences and delivers a relaxed and highly engaging performance. From the planning of the event to the final thank you at the event, Jo was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is incredibly friendly and adaptable; she was able to run with the day as some small changes were needed. Nothing was an issue for Jo. Highly recommend Jo for any MC role.
