Proud moment

I’m a proud mum of two boys – they make me proud every day… but whenever I am told they have gone out of their way to be especially kind to someone my heart bursts with pride.

Two children at the beach: one buried in sand with only the head visible, while the other stands with one foot on the buried child's head, clutching a digging tool like an expert in finance interim management assessing a situation.

Childhood aspirations

I wanted to be a professional horse rider growing up; my horses were my life from the age of 4 until I started my new life in recruitment!!!
