Richelle grew up on a beef cattle farm just outside Taree, NSW. Her family attended a local Baptist Church, where she was raised with Christian teachings in her home. After completing her Bachelor in Communications at university, Richelle felt led to a career in not-for-profit work and spent several years with the Church Missionary Society before beginning her radio broadcasting career with Vision Christian Media (Rhema’s current Christian news outlet).
She has since dabbled in scriptwriting, audio production, and co-hosted both Breakfast and Afternoon Christian radio shows before becoming a mum and relocating back to Newcastle in 2017 while her husband returned to study. Richelle has been in and out behind the scenes and on air at Rhema since then, hosting various shows.
In early 2025, Richelle transitioned from hosting Nights to Afternoons, airing from 1-3 pm weekdays, where she continues to bring her warmth and encouragement to listeners.
Tune into her conversation with Craig Sparrow – Director of Healing Path to Wellness – this organisation exists to alleviate the symptoms of those living with mental, emotional and physical ill-health, distress, trauma, chronic pain, and special needs; empowering a hope-filled life.
They are launching a Suicide Prevention SAFE SPACE in Lake Mac in a couple of months and want volunteers to train and spread the word about their free service. Use THIS LINK to access their volunteer page, and get more information.
