Hobbies

I enjoy working out, I go to a PT twice a week and recently got into a dance class called Clubbersize with glowsticks!

I spend as much quality time as I can with my friends and family whether that is going for long walks, lunch or just sat on the sofa with a hot chocolate and a good film or series.

I've always been creative and enjoyed make up and creative looks which plays a part in my roles whether that has been creating captive power points or, setting fun incentives to engage the team.
