About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make the most of every opportunity.

ABOUT ME

I am half Irish and half Spanish, born in Kenya and brought up in Kenya, Zanzibar and Lesotho. I completed my BA in the UK and since then I have lived in Spain, China and Italy. My passions include Early Years education and having stimulating conversations over a coffee or a glass of wine. I enjoy travelling, dining, the outdoors and meeting people from all over the world. I am laid back, easy going and open minded. I am also very friendly and cheerful.

PHILOSOPHY

To respect and treat everyone as equals and make the most of every opportunity.
