About

I love my job - it's a true privilege.

It allows me into people's worlds and enables me to sharing people's behaviour experiences with them.  I enjoy listing to their stories and watching them go about their daily lives and seeing how they react to ideas.  My job has taken me from everyday situations to extraordinary places and life moments, including shopping for engagement rings, holidaying with them on a cruise ship and being in high security government sites.

I have been a tutor on the APG 2-day moderation course, invited to be an expert adviser on SME's for the Guardian Newspaper and written articles for online platforms, including Marketing Donut and HSBC business centre.  In my spare time I enjoy walking, yoga and travelling.
