Affiliations

  • Outside of work, I have a strong interest in equestrian sports and own two horses, which has developed my commitment, discipline, responsibility and ability to manage demanding routines. Competing and caring for horses has strengthened my organisation, patience and resilience. I also have a keen interest in construction and practical projects, currently undertaking a barn conversion project, allowing me to further develop my understanding of building processes, problem solving, planning, materials and hands-on construction skills outside of my professional role. I enjoy working outdoors, taking on new challenges and continuously developing my practical and technical abilities.
