i98FM’s new breakfast co-host ranks alongside other recognisable names such as Sam Thaiday, Emma Freeman and Benjamin Hannant.
The list is compiled by a group of top Australian content directors in metropolitan and regional markets.
“I am so thrilled to be included in this list of talent,” Christie said.
“I’m brand new to announcing and after only a few weeks have developed a real passion for radio and am thoroughly enjoying waking up with the Illawarra each day.”
Hayes joined the Marty, Christie and Crammy Breakfast Show with Marty Haynes and Ryan Cram on January 16.
She played Kirsty Sutherland on Home & Away for seven years, was once voted Youth Ambassador for Australia and nominated for a TV Week Logie award.
She has worked on more than 40 short films, and had appearances on MTV, Blue Water High, and the ABC series Devils Dust.
She is a contributing writer for Mamamia and has featured in opinion based segments for The Morning Show and The Daily Edition.
