Specializing in Ballroom and Latin American dancing, Sonia has represented Australia at the Amateur British Ballroom Championships and was the Australian Ballroom, Latin & New Vogue Professional Champion.

While on set, Sonia helped teach cast members how to dance. Her skills as a dance instructor have also been utilised by NIDA where Sonia taught for more than four years.
Sonia continued to remain in the public eye after Strictly Ballroom; on television as well as in theatre. She was a huge hit as a reporter on Channel Nine’s revamped kids show, Wonder World and made several appearances in ABC-TV’s Three Men and A Baby Grand.
In 1997 after completing an Arts degree at Sydney’s University of Technology she joined Seven’s long-running morning and news show 11 AM as its entertainment reporter. She remained with the program for two years before moving to Today Tonight.

She has interviewed stars such as Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, Mike Myers, Jackie Chan, Robert Redford, Billy Connolly, Michael Caine, Kevin Costner, Sandra Bullock, Glenn Close, Jodie Foster, Kate Hudson, Beyonce Knowles and Aussie pop sensation Kylie Minogue.
Sonia embodies a healthy lifestyle and was the ideal choice as an ambassador for Swisse Multivitamins, and has been since 2008. In her spare time, Sonia enjoys the cinema, live theatre and dining out with friends. She’s a huge tennis fan, and is passionate about the State of Origin. She is one of Queensland’s most vocal supporters.
