This week: News Presenter Tatiana Sanchez

Tatiana Sanchez is one of the young people making Brighton the global hotspot it is, intervewing the local community and celebrities on a daily basis. Besides her superb television work for Brighton’s own station, she has another passionate interest – providing free dentistry for third world children. Her step dad Nigel Kennedy (known as ‘no-pain Nigel!’) and others are Brighton dentists who have formed “Dental Mavericks” – they go to different countries giving free treatment to children who have no access to dental care. Many of the children are in pain or are afraid because they have never been to a dentist, but by the end of it, they love it and are so grateful for the Dental Mavericks’ visit.

“Hola! Apologies for the foreign greeting, but I am half Colombian and assume that ‘hola’ is well known for meaning ‘hello’. I’m also half Italian so, ‘ciao!’. However, I was born in the lovely Shoreham-By-Sea, and my life has always been Brighton centred.
It is great to finally formally introduce myself, as you may have already seen me on Latest TV presenting the sports and news, and interviewing members of the local community as well as local celebrities. It’s a dream job for me after taking my Journalism Masters degree in London. I still feel though that sport is the love of my life – not reading it, not watching it, but actually doing it! I used to play tennis for Sussex and was part of the LTA for many years. But that moment came when I had to choose, and developing a media career won. I was sad at first but now I can say that I have no regrets.
Latest TV came at a perfect time for me. I was scared to be a part of a broadcast media company, but I soon realised how much this was meant for me. I am surrounded by a great team who make the station the success it is. I am extremely proud to be a part of it.”

Tatiana will go with them this year when they visit Morocco, to assist with interacting with the children and providing the dental care they need. Read more at: www.dentalmavericks.org
