Born and bred in Southampton, I try to escape but it always seems to pull me back. Maybe it’s something to do with the pull of the sea; I’m always happier near the coastline.
Life working with teenagers in a Southampton school keeps me busy and fortunate to see the diverse nature of our city on a daily basis. I believe that kindness is a superpower and that dogs are better company than people.
In my precious spare time, I am a writer and I love taking part in the creative groups in Southampton including So:write women writers and Artful Scribe’s Writer’s Café. If I can ride my bike or listen to Springsteen, it’s a good day. I love cakes, drumming and going on mild adventures.
