  • I really feel I excelled at this role, during my time as Payroll Admin, our site received it's first and only ‘A' rating on our company's internal audit, meaning that our Payroll and HR paperwork was checked and judged to be 100% compliant with company policies and procedures.

General interests

I have a great interest in English as a language; I earned my degree in linguistics in 2011 and have continued my interest in the subject since leaving university. I enjoy reading nonfiction books on various subjects including History, personal biographies, gardening, religion and alternative therapies. I also enjoy reading fiction, particularly Terry Pratchett and science fiction/fantasy novels., My second love is film; I have a large collection on DVD and enjoy both watching and discussing films with friends. I also have a great love of photography and have recently been involving myself in online discussions and blogs. I have two children, and enjoy doing arts and crafts and many outdoor activities with them (foraging for hedgerow fruit for example) and we also enjoy cooking and baking together.
