I was born in Yorkshire and now live in Germany.

I read a lot of books.

I love to run.

I obsess over cooking, particularly baking the perfect loaf and improving my lasagne recipe.

I have a wonderful partner and a difficult-to-please dog.

I used to be a live sound engineer and system techician and toured the world with bands that I love. I don't do that now but I still love going to gigs.

I was Director of Operations and Event Production at Optimum, making exciting events happen for people as part of the TBA Group.

With 20 years' experience of project managing live and digital events, I decided to expand my skills and I now work as an IT project manager at Staffbase, a global tech startup.
