In the early 1990’s Rosie volunteered at the Contact Trust, an organisation enabling unemployed and disabled people to gain media experience.  From this platform, she broadcast a weekly disability issues programme on the commercial Red Dragon Touch AM radio stations.

Rosie’s radio presenting has included:

• Time with Able Radio, broadcasting online content to a worldwide audience.
• A documentary series for BBC Radio Wales to mark the 50th anniversary of the introduction of Thalidomide onto the British and Commonwealth markets.
• A BBC Radio Wales commissioned series of four radio programmes entitled “Rosie’s World”. This series allowed Rosie to explore attitudes towards disability, taking in a whole range of topics including work, relationships and education.
