CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm Irish. I graduated from a History and Political Science degree in 2014, but now I'm going in a different direction and studying wine. I've just started my first specifically wine-focused job in a small indepdent shop and bar and I'm loving it. After years in the restaurant industry it is a nice change to be able to talk about wine all day long.
I would describe myself as mostly friendly and cheerful, especially if the weather is good! I think I'm quite maternal too, I like to look after people. I have a tendency to be very lazy when I'm off work so I'm always trying to push myself to do things and be more active.

PHILOSOPHY

Be considerate to others, stay cheerful, enjoy yourself

兴趣

When I'm off work, if I have the energy and motivation, I love to cook. I think there's no better way to spend an evening with friends than with a huge dinner and a copious amount of wine. I love reading, too many favourite books to list. I'm pretty interested in culture generally - literature, history, art, cities in general, theatre, whatever I like to cycle although don't have a bike yet in London, and I occasionally run. And I like being out and about, so hiking and going for walks, swimming in the sea - but only when it's sunny...
