Colette Kinsella
Colette Kinsella is an independent producer who lives in Dublin, Ireland.
Her storytelling career started in the early 90's and involved 15 German butchers (she taught food hygiene courses in Germany). After various other careers as a translator (Germany) and newspaper subeditor (Cairo, Egypt) she finally started telling her own stories using the medium of radio. Kinsella produces documentaries, features and inserts for RTE Radio 1, BBC World Service and other stations.
