Outside of work

  • What’s your favourite indoor/outdoor activity?
    I love to participate in as many activities as I can, from training at the gym to Kite Surfing at the beach. It’s important to have an active lifestyle that allows for a good work life balance.
  • How do you define success?
    For me, success is a journey and not a destination. It’s important that you can grow as a person and continue to better yourself in all aspects of life. To be successful is to be able to make a difference to others, and to share your knowledge and experiences to help them improve their lives and overcome their challenges.
  • What are you happiest doing when you’re not working?
    I am happiest doing one of my hobbies, exploring the world around us and spending time with my family and my little white ‘fur child’, Penelope Anne.
  • What would be your personal motto?
    My family’s clan motto is my motto: Robore prudentia praestat, which is Latin for “Prudence excels strength”. I have always interpreted this as thinking and being smart will always be better than being forceful and uncompromising with life’s challenges.
