I grew up in a very remote area in the Lizard Peninsula and moved to London at the age of 17 where I have been working since in finance and admin in a variety sectors based in central London & local to where I currently live. I started my working life as a trainee in Harrods, and I then moved into finance work including BBC, BHS, HMV etc. After my son was born in 2000 I entered into the charity sector, locally employed by LTL on School community programmes and my last position before Carefree, a community centre supporting and running activities for the older community and in the afternoons taken over by a noisy after school club for 4-11 year olds.

What do you enjoy doing when you are not working? 

Variety of things – From walking my beautiful dog amongst nature, an occasional gong bath to live theatre & music. I love travelling and visiting new places especially beautiful landscapes. I also enjoy in depth conversations about mysteries of life, watching ancient history documentaries and supernatural series.
