SARAH DUFFY

If you want to know what it’s like to bungee jump, skydive, come face to face with a Cheetah, go jet boating, dive with great white sharks, hike to Everest Base Camp, fly in a helicopter, or climb glaciers, Sarah is the one to ask.

Sarah has always had a passion for travel. Setting off on trips with her beloved Grandparents at the ripe old age of 4, she blames them for contracting incurable wanderlust, and has lived in and travelled to some of the world’s most beautiful places.

A former Snowboard Instructor having lived 10 snow seasons in the Alps here in Australia and overseas. She has a Master’s degree in Media and Communications (broadcasting and digital content), a Grad Dip of Arts in Radio Broadcasting, many presenting and content-producing courses, and a short course in Meteorology from BOM Melbourne.

Since childhood, she’s had a keen interest in sports, when she got to high school Outdoor Ed classes helped her get out of other classes so she could play soccer, tennis, basketball, go surfing, wakeboarding, hiking, snowboarding, or skiing.

An avid runner, hiker, pilates, and yoga enthusiast she’s up early enjoying these activities to start the day. She also loves a fun run, although most people wouldn’t consider the words ‘fun’ and ‘run’ should ever be put next to each other. With her keen interest in running she has enjoyed participating in and helping raise charitable funds for; Run For The Kids, The Mothers Day Classic, Fred Hollows Foundation, Run To The G, Run Melbourne, Relay For Life, and Woman’s Fun Run, to name a few. Sarah gives time to charity and causes close to her heart such as; The Royal Children’s Hospital, Donate Life, Australian Red Cross Blood Service, and supports the Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal.

Growing up in a family of builders and tradies, Sarah has spent most of her upbringing in houses being renovated or built around her. Sarah spent her early twenties on a building site as a builder’s labourer/site cleaner, has worked with her Dad and Brother on concrete slabs, tiling, plastering, building and assembling cabinets, is very handy with a paintbrush, and it’s not uncommon to also find her in the garden with a hedge trimmer, pressure washer, or the like in hand, due to her love of the outdoors. She get’s lost in the world of interior and garden design more often than she should tuned to Grand Designs, Escape to the Chateau, or the like, loves taking over her Dad’s shed to repair and refurbish pre-loved furniture and learning how to use new power tools, and you’ll most likely find her in the isles of a hardware store over a clothing store or nail salon.

Sarah is a freelance presenter, producer, voice-over artist, writer, and event host/MC for all things media, so if you’re looking for someone who thinks quickly on their feet, and whose work connects with a wide variety of demographics. Then Sarah is it.

If you’ve taken anything away from reading the above it should be that Sarah’s life revolves around; food, travel, building, sports, events, and self-treating her acrophobia (fear of heights) with activities that suggest otherwise as a form of immersion therapy. P.S. None of them have worked, if anything it’s made it worse, but she’ll keep trying so she doesn’t miss out on living.
