I trained in modern ballet at Goldsmiths university in London but chose to follow a career in publishing, launching several magazines and websites and rising to the level of publisher. I am experienced in managing large teams, launching new projects and working with a diverse range of people.

Since retiring from publishing, I have launched my own tourism-based company based in Teignbridge. My passion is the great outdoors, exploring it and protecting it. I am also a local parish councillor and a director of ACT.
