A little bit
about me...

When I'm not working, you can find me planning holidays, skiing, and exploring new cuisines as a complete foodie. My main hobbies are watercolour painting, yoga, photography, and running. In April 2025, I ran the London Landmarks Half-Marathon for DeafBlindUK and raised £1,500. I have a close family, and I'm a proud dog auntie to a blue staffy called Frankie. Fun fact: I can play the violin.
