[1] Nanjiani worked on Hospital Radio Paisley for a short time in the late 1970s where she used to read some local news cuttings she had gathered during the week.

She was called in to present her first bulletin in 1987, when Sheena McDonald was ill. Nanjiani has hosted many programmes for STV, including religious affairs series Eikon and Secret Scotland in the late nineties.

On 28 August 2007, Shereen made her first STV Central appearance since her departure on the station's video blog, The Real MacKay.

She now presents Shereen, a live topical news and current affairs programme broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland originally every Sunday morning.

[4] Nanjiani was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2019 Birthday Honours for services to broadcasting in Scotland.
