Donna Saker
Chances are if you been to the dentist office, the doctors or been stuck in traffic you’ve heard Donna’s voice
Donna has been your at work bestie at The Beat for 16 years.
The Queen of “don’t take life so seriously” Donna has sweated her way through menopause, online dating, ageing and life's trials and tribulations with a martini in her hand!
Donna is a big softie though and spends a lot of time helping causes that are important to her like the Parkinson’s Foundation, Heart and Stroke Foundation and Women’s Health Initiatives.
She’s the biggest Coldplay fan but at heart she’s a true 80s chick!
Donna insists if you see her out in public and you say “hi” get ready for hugs.
