What do you like to do in your spare time?

I enjoy yoga and gardening in the evenings and at the weekend I like to hang upside down in aerial silks.

What is your favourite country you have visited?

Cuba, I loved being in a place with such an interesting history that is still unfolding. It is a place that is completely alive and I enjoyed its energy, mostly in the form of salsa and rum!

Who inspires you the most?

Anyone who volunteers their time and energy to others who are vulnerable and in need of extra help.

How do you deal with stressful situations?

A run always lightens the load and helps me take a step and approach the situation with a clearer mind. If I am deskbound grounding my feet and taking a few deep breaths also helps!

If you could witness one moment in history what would it be?

I would like to have been sitting on the bus with Rosa Parks.
