Where and when did your TV Career start?

My TV career started after entering for Presenter Search on 3 in 2015

You’ve had a successful career, what are some of your career highlights?

Definitely the people I got to meet,  new relationships formed, some memorable moments such as links I needed to do,  included sky diving! Haha,  it was amazing.

And lowlites?

Haha I’d probably enjoy sleeping more. Of course everyone has their ‘down’ moments,  but every single day is a blessing and I try and make the most of every 24hour day I get to enjoy.

Mishka was also a finalist in Miss SA in 2014

What’s a typical day like in the life of Mishka Patel?

Full of activities. Always something new and always something to do. I never have a ‘typical day, but I can tell you this much,  I don’t have a 9-5, I have a 24/7 365.

You don’t only do TV, you MC and is a brand ambassador as well. What do you do to relax, away from the media stuff? Hobbies for example ?

Running. Hiking. Reading. I love nature and exploring, and seeing and experiencing new things.

I have quite a list and I believe these goals are quite personal. But for now, I write them all down in my little journal and work towards them every single day.
