About me

I'm a mature Trans woman with a gender history which doesn't define me entirely but actually enhances my experiences and you get an entirely rounded presenter who sees it from every angle and can draw from a lifetime of pretence in my previous gender. I've a friendly, open and bubbly, outgoing personality, I'm proudly dual national Anglo-Australian having spent 34 years overseas and am an Naturalized Australian and a British Subject holding both passports and unrestricted rights of residence. I was a Registered Nurse in Surgical Theatres for over 20 years and am a trained dental nurse too. I'm multifaceted with a lot of experience in many areas including Military history, Geological surveying, Skydiving and Parachuting, psychic mediumship and a whole host of other interesting and unusual life experiences to draw from. I'm an out transwoman and LGBT activist and I write and present a regular Radio show THE RACHEL OLIVER SHOW on Sonder Radio in Manchester with occasional guest appearances on other local radio stations including Reform Radio, plus voice over production for Sonder Radio projects. I'm looking to widen my experience into Voice Over and Presentation productions especially in areas I'm professionally trained and experienced in, Surgical Medicine , Nursing, Military History, Psychic Mediumship and other areas of knowledge to deliver knowledgeable and experienced presentations. Of course Trans Gender productions are definitely of interest or you might want a diverse and interesting presentation angle to your production.

Additional information:
I'm Anglo-Australian, with a unusual hybrid northern UK accent with a cute twist of Aussie idioms and inflective sentences which are common to Australia. I can go full on Aussie accent esp with my kids who are in Perth or in company of other Australians. I love strine and have captured its humour in my many Radio programmes. I worked for Bunnings UK for a while on front desk in customer service and as an Aussie was a popular addition to the UK branding especially on meet and greet.
