MY RESPONSIBILITIES
READ MORE ABOUT ME

I joined OCC following 15 wonderful years in Education and letting my own children loose into the big wide world.

Izzy is a physiotherapist and Jacob is in a business role in London – a very proud mummy indeed.

I like to keep fit with body combat, long walks and paddleboarding. I enjoy travelling, socialising. Shopping and interior design. I rarely relax but when I do I watch the beautiful people on Made in Chelsea.
