Nina Hobson Travels from Perth, WA

After 15 years in policing, Nina decided to explore her media skills and joined Leicester Sound FM Radio as a breakfast presenter. Determined to make the move to TV, Nina walked the streets of London to every scout asking to be considered for a role, and was refused by all bar one who saw her potential. Through hard work and determination, Nina made her break into TV as the presenter of a number of programs often with a controversial topic. 

It made sense to take her detective skills to television where she has put her training and experience in surveillance, interrogation and informant-running to good use in Broadcast Investigation and Journalism. The most noted documentary being Undercover Copper, exposing corruption in the UK Police Force. 

This led to a further hit series Undercover Mum working undercover to reveal organisations and individuals harming kids. An accolade to Nina’s work was a nomination for UK Woman of the year in 2006.

Her unprecedented behind-the-scenes footage of Undercover Copper resulted in a number of award nominations including a BAFTA nomination. 

In 2008, Nina and her family relocated to Perth Western Australia where Nina became the Owner, and Executive Director of a highly successful security & investigation company, Owl Protectors and Investigators.

As one of a handful of licenced female bodyguards, Nina has many a story to tell.

For the past six years, Nina has worked with the Save the Africa Rhino Charity in Perth, working, alongside the anti-poaching unit on the front line, risking her life to save these endangered species. Nina is passionate about her charity work and this along with her desire to make a difference is an inspiration to us all.

In 2011 with a passion to help communities teach the next generation a way to stay safe on the internet, Nina created a unique and innovative project made by the students for the students. This project has been adopted in a number of schools and Nina has the aspiration to teach all students and parents in this ever-growing minefield.

You have to hear Nina’s story to believe it. Her professional, enthusiastic and real-life experiences inspire and motivate you as her talks make you laugh, cry and realise that we can all achieve so much.
