Travelling and exploring new places. I love nothing more than planning itineraries to countries I want to visit. Other passions include, yoga (of course!), cooking and reading.

Being part of the amazing team and seeing both familiar and new faces!

Favourite thing about Shalford?
During lockdown we thoroughly enjoyed walking along the river to get a coffee or hot chocolate from the Snooty Fox. I also love seeing everyone out and about on the green at the weekend.

Who do you admire most?
It is too difficult to pick one person! I admire people who want to make the world a better place and fight against injustice.

Yoghurt, fruit and granola. It always sets me up for the day.
