As a child I wanted to be an artist or a 'horse rider' (not sure what is!).

From year 8, I wanted to be a writer. In year 9 I realised it's hard to make money writing novels so I decided to be a journalist. I flirted with the idea of being a lawyer in year 11 and 12 but I got into my dream course studying journalism so that's what I did.

Worked as a journo for quite a few years. But now I use my talents for good in the NFP sector doing marcomms.

Coincidentally, my DD's three greatest loves are writing, horseriding and art
