While I was studying languages at university, I had to opportunity to take part in residential trips for a charity based inner city London. I continued with this for several years, at the same time travelling and working across Europe.  

The interest that had been ignited in my youth for supporting young people and my life long passion for the countryside, led to the opportunity to join Circles in its relative infancy and have the privilege of seeing it grow and develop into the excellent organisation it is today.

In my spare time I enjoy music, gardening and outdoor swimming with my children and anything to do with water.
