Seetha Hallett
Seetha was born in London to Sri-Lankan parents. Having gained a degree in finance, she worked in the City for a number of years as a business analyst for major American and Dutch investment banks, before a chance meeting led to her being asked to front a new property series for Channel 4 - A Place By The Sea, for which she has filmed 4 series to date.
Since moving into presenting, Seetha has worked on a variety of productions, which have seen her doing everything from debating current affairs and interviewing government ministers to feeding dolphins and trekking through rainforest… in genres as diverse as current affairs, travel, food, lifestyle & property for various broadcasters including the BBC, Channel 4, Discovery, ITV, More4 and UKTV.
Outside work, her love of wildlife and desire to experience new things have led her to travel to more than 40 countries so far and she has, amongst other things, climbed the mountains Kilimanjaro and Kinabalu, scuba dived with whale sharks, trekked to see mountain gorillas, driven across the desert to see desert elephants…
Seetha, with the aid of a 443 page manual, taught herself Final Cut Pro to understand the edit process of programme making and has put it to good use by cutting her own showreel, which can be viewed here: http://vimeo.com/10204865
