Jennifer         JENNIFER BYRNE

Jennifer Byrne is a senior journalist and broadcaster who has worked in all arms of the media: print, radio and television.

Including quizzes, cards, board games,  and crosswords (physical and electronic). To be invited to become the first Australian host of Mastermind – a show she grew up watching, of course - is the realization of a dream she didn’t know she had.
