Outside of work
I enjoy spending my time with family and friends. I lead an active life and am always up for trying new things. I am a foodie and love eating out and trying new restaurants in my local area and in London – I am also an aspiring wine connoisseur but after 2 glasses they all tend to taste the same.
I am happiest when I am on the beach back home with my dog – Buddy!
