Early Days:
Miranda was born in 1973 in Buckinghamshire She has always loved to be outdoors and spent much of her early childhood climbing trees and also walking barefoot in the local woods. Her passion for wildlife started early on by observing animals in the wild and keeping a veritable menagerie at home in the laundry room!
She was educated at school in Reading and went onto study Zoology at Bristol University. From here, she caught the wildlife filmmaking bug and even before graduating, secured work at the BBC Natural History Unit. Moving from Runner to Researcher, she worked at other production companies in Bristol. This was before a lucky break into presenting in 1999 for Fox Television. This first break into presenting gave her the opportunity to travel and also present conservation stories from around the globe. From this, she moved onto presenting projects as diverse as metals detecting, local history and marine conservation. She has written about her experiences for various publications including ‘Diver’ magazine and PADI where in 2019 she became PADI’s first UK Ambbassadiver
She hopes to convey her passion for wildlife conservation and the environment through her work as a presenter.
Miranda Krestovnikoff has worked on many programmes. She filmed a landmark series for the BBC called The Nature of Britain, presented by Alan Titchmarsh. Miranda is also an occasional presenter of ITV’s ‘Countrylife’ a wildlife and countryside series.
Another passion of Miranda’s is music. She plays flute with the well-established and highly acclaimed Bristol-based orchestra the New Bristol Sinfonia.
