Nikki was delighted to win the award as she has worked as a TV presenter for five years on Channel 4’s “Vee TV” programme, which is due to return to our screens in spring 2006. Her recognition is also thanks to her role as a TV British Sign Language Interpreter for the “Powerpuff girls” on Cartoon Network and also for a variety of children’s programmes on CBeebies.
