Biography
Kerre Woodham reckons she became an extrovert at school, where comedy was one way to get accepted. At Waihi College, before her family moved to Hamilton, she played the lead role in “a jazzed-up version” of Cinderella.
After school Woodham had the choice of becoming a management trainee at a roofing firm, or studying journalism at Wellington Polytechnic. She chose journalism. Afterwards, Radio New Zealand chose her. Having spent two years at varied North Island radio stations she began her first television job, reporting for The Video Dispatch, a news show aimed at the young.
