Sarah Bristow, Associate Producer for the Breakfast Show
Sarah Bristow has been passionate about journalism for as long as she can remember – at the age of 9, she decided she wanted to become a reporter.  Sarah’s career started in radio, before she moved into television.  For the past three years, she has been Associate Producer at TV1’s Breakfast show – a varied and exciting role, which involves the challenging task of trying to wrap up Paul Henry by speaking (and sometimes shouting) in his ear when he’s on air!
