Mini Bio

Born in County Durham to an outdoor enthusiast father, my childhood was spent exploring the lakes, dales and moors of the North of England.  My early ambition to be a teacher took me to Sunderland University where I studied Early Childhood and Educational Studies. Once graduating, my need to have fun and travel took me down south and eventually took me to a very small island in the Channel Islands, I gained a Highland husband on my adventures and this brought us back to his home in the Cairngorms.  

Places to play

Of course my doorstep: the Cairngorms! But also exploring the West Coast and could spend hours being on the spectacular shores of Loch Coruisk.

Not many people know this

In one of my old jobs I used to dress up as a clown and host children’s parties.
