Interests

I balance my busy and challenging work life with mindless, escapist pursuits outside of work! I love shopping (particularly for shoes), cooking and reading. I also love snow skiing, body pump, spin classes and yoga. Having lived in New York for 18 months, my personal idea of heaven is a shopping and eating holiday in the Big Apple.
