Sandra Sully has cemented herself as one of the most recognisable faces on Australian Television. To viewers she is an absolute delight, a professional journalist with the expertise to transcend the 'read' and really 'tell' the story with warmth, sincerity and the ability to be objective at all times.
Sandra is enjoying her 15th year as the national anchor for Network Ten's Late News with Sports Tonight. As well as presenting, she is also the show's Senior Editor and plays an integral role in producing and compiling the bulletin.
Her extensive journalistic career is littered with highlights but perhaps none are more significant and poignant as the September, 11 terror attacks. With calm and poise, Sandra was the first person to tell Australia about the tragic events unfolding before her eyes while delivering a professional news bulletin on the world's worst terrorist attack.
Most recently, Sandra hosted COOL AID: the National Carbon Test which featured her exclusive interviews with Al Gore, former US vice president and creator of An Inconvenient Truth, and Australian of the Year Tim Flannery.
Sandra’s versatility has enabled her to cover numerous events for the network including becoming the first woman to co-host Australia’s national iconic sporting event, The Melbourne Cup and was part of the coverage for seven years. She also hosted the prestigious Australian of the Year Awards with the Prime Minister for five years.
Sandra began her career with TEN in Canberra working at the parliamentary bureau. Her passion for politics led her to host Ten’s 1996 Federal Election coverage.
In her spare time, Sandra is heavily involved in a number of charitable organisations. She currently serves on the Women's Advisory Board for the National Breast Cancer Centre; a position she has held for five years. She is co-patron of Spinal Cure and is a member of the prestigious Carbine Club; a sporting and business organisation that raises money for Kids Sport. She is also an Ambassador for the Paint a Rainbow Foundation and supports Australian Surf Life-saving.
She is a keen sports fan and was a yearly competitor in the famous Sun Herald City to Surf Fun Run. Given her easy-going nature, her varied talents, warmth and charm, Sandra is a highly sought after M.C. for events and conferences - voted recently as one of the top 5 presenters in the country. Her hosting credits include: the highly prestigious Pink Ribbon Breakfast; Entrepreneur of the Year Awards; Women of Achievement Awards; AFL Grand Final Week and Eureka Awards – National Science Awards.
In the communications business, she’s one of the best! |
