I am a country girl at heart as I grew up in Devon and was educated in Teignmouth and Totnes. I did well at school but did not want to go down an academic route. I am sociable and enjoy travel, improvisation and working as part of a team.

I also love animals, reading, painting and drawing.

Recently I climbed Ben Nevis to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Trust. My favourite list includes:

Film - A Life less Ordinary; Author - Terry Pratchett;

Band - Stereophonics
On the negative side I don’t like chocolate, spiders, shopping or the colour pink...
