This Channel Seven star worked her way up from the bottom after winning an internship in 2006 where she made coffee for crew members.
Now the 40-year-old has been in the journalism industry for 18 years, working as a reporter on 2GB at one point and covering the Beijing Olympics for Seven.
In 2011 she worked her way up at Sunrise to become a weather presenter, replacing Grant Denyer, and then moved to the entertainment desk.
Other TV gigs under her belt include co-hosting roles for Dancing With The Stars in 2013 and Australian Spartan alongside Hamish McLachlan in 2018 and 2019.
The media personality now works as a news presenter on Sunrise, taking over Natalie Barr’s job in 2021, and hosts Sunrise Early News.

It’s Edwina Bartholomew!
The veteran reporter shared a throwback photo from her teen years to Instagram on Sunday which featured Edwina as a very happy looking youth sitting on a swing set.
She looked almost unrecognisable with her very short brunette locks, a far cry from the long blonde tresses she currently sports.
In the snap, Edwina opted for a completely bare face as she wore a simple black top and blue jeans, holding a pair of sunglasses in her hands.

‘High school me. No social media,’ the caption read as Edwina called for her followers to sign the 36 months petition.
The social change initiative aims to amend legislation to raise the minimum age Australian teenagers can sign up for social media accounts from 13 to 16.
Edwina’s post comes after she revealed her country hotel renovation had suffered a major setback due to NSW’s wild weather.

She and husband Neil Varcoe bought a heritage property in Carcoar last May and since then the restoration has been delayed by six months.
Speaking to Realestate.com last month, Edwina said recent heavy rains in the area had created havoc, damaging the building and creating a cost blowout.
‘We have had a lot of storms in the area which very quickly revealed serious leaks in the roof,’ she said.
‘We sustained damage to our floors through a big leak in one of the skylights, we lost of couple of windows during a hail storm, and the plaster in one room is literally crumbling off the wall.’
