I have two grown-up wonderful children – a young woman (Solicitor with Hull firm of solicitors) and a young man (Graduate of Lincoln University studied Sports Development and Coaching). Through my work, I have had the opportunity to work with many different organisations and people from a wide range of backgrounds and abilities – local, regional, national & International.

In my spare time, I enjoy socialising, playing squash, literature, cooking, fashion designing, skin analysing and my roles within a voluntary capacity. I believe the skills and experience I have would be very beneficial for you and your organisation.
