Natalie Sawyer’s Career

Soon after graduating from college in 2002, Natalie began her career in journalism with the British sports channel Sky Sports News. She began as an intermediate production assistant.

When she was asked to do a screen test for one of their ongoing programs, her efforts paid off. Natalie was chosen, and her voyage to becoming one of Sky’s most popular presenters commenced.

Separating from Sky Sports News

Natalie left “Sky Sports” in 2018 after eighteen years of employment. However, her departure did not appear to be particularly tranquil.
