From dairy farmer’s daughter and school athletics star, to navy medic; broadcasting student AND full-time producer, Alexandra Mullin’s path to breakfast radio hosting has been a fascinating (and high-octane) one!
Alex has lived her life on full-blast since she was adventuring around her parents’ Taranaki farm as a pre-schooler (learning to drive a tractor at four!) - and she jokes that she still keeps dairy farming hours.
In her current gig, Alex can be heard getting Kiwis energised for their day alongside George FM breakfast radio hosts Lee and Tammy. It takes a special person to have enough energy for early morning radio, but luckily she is an expert in pre-dawn starts.
Alex grew up milking cows, tending animals, riding horses, camping, fishing, whitebaiting and generally getting her hands dirty. At the same time, she excelled in college sports, competing at national level in netball, running, swimming, athletics and surf life saving during her time at New Plymouth’s Sacred Heart Girls School. She was also very involved in music and drama, her love of entertaining people always a main driver.
Her passion for adventure led her to join the Royal New Zealand Navy as a medic, where she studied and worked in Burnham, Christchurch, alongside airforce and army personnel. It was here Alex picked up her “clean freak” tendencies and strong sense of work discipline.
However the pull towards a creative career became too strong, and after three years in the military, Alex moved to Auckland to study for a bachelor of communications degree at the Auckland University of Technology. She flourished in this environment, and it was quickly evident how skilled she was as a broadcaster.
Midway through her final year of study, Alex was shoulder-tapped to be the new content breakfast producer for Jay Jay, Dom and Randell at The Edge. She somehow juggled this full-time role with full-time study - at classic Alex break-neck pace!
Since then, she has held myriad roles across the radio industry; producing, announcing, filling in on flagship shows, MCing and recording voice-overs. She was named “Edgie of the Year” in 2018, a nod to all her hard work for the station.
When she’s not working anti-social hours in the studio, Alex can be found as often out on the town as she is hiking through native bush, sporting her trademark giant smile. A true extrovert, she loves meeting new people, and finding out what makes others tick. Health and fitness are a huge priority; she keeps fit with golf, swimming and dog walking. She also plays guitar and sings!
Alex brings her boundless positive energy to every job she undertakes; she is a regular on the MC circuit for music and sporting events, and is excited to develop co-lab opportunities with brands and businesses who share her zest for life.
