About
Local community, keeping connected and running businesses are all closely intertwined. Healthy relationships flow reciprocally from professional to personal areas and are very rewarding.
My business experience stems from owning small businesses, working with Business Networks and having worked internationally. I have also for many years, been involved at the local community level with volunteer groups and committees.
My personal experience has been formed largely by my family, my husband of twenty years and our five children, and provides a dynamic backdrop to all of my endeavours. Learning new ways of doing things is de rigueur in our household and keeps me on my toes!
I look forward to hearing from you with your feedback and stories.
