Affiliations

  • Whilst I have a very social job that requires me to be quite forthright, in my personal life I choose to lead a much more quiet life through my hobbies. Whilst I did not complete my degree in fashion design I still have an interest in sewing and have recently enrolled on a sewing course to develop my sewing skills.
  • From a very early age I have always loved books and love sitting down and getting lost in the pages of a good book.
  • Fitness is also another interest of mine. It's another area where I can challenge myself and push forward whether it be in gym and adopting a "you against you" mind frame or signing myself up to sporting challenges such as the local RunNorwich 10k which I have completed a few times or charity bike ride travelling from Bristol to Amsterdam.
