Away from work
What are your main interests or hobbies?
Whenever I get chance, my husband and I (and Audrey – our beloved Cocker Spaniel) love to explore the UK in our VW Transporter. We’re keen walkers and regularly take go for hikes at weekends, with Northumberland and the Bull Crag Peninsula among our favourite spots.
I’m also a passionate Sunderland supporter, following most of their games and enjoy plenty of football debates with my husband, who is Newcastle United mad.
What music do you like – any specific genre or artists?
I usually listen to Radio X but I do like a little bit of a rock and am a massive fan of Green Day.
What’s your favourite food?
I like my food to have some kick – so I’d go for anything spicy!
What film or boxset would you recommend to others?
Ted Lasso is my favourite box set that I would recommend – I’ve watched it over and over again. He’s a really happy person who sees the best in everyone. I like his unwavering optimism and belief in people.
What is your favourite holiday destination?
St Lucia is the most picturesque place I’ve ever been and it would be a dream to retire there. I love the people, the beaches and the rum punch!
What famous person would you most like to meet and why?
I would love to have met Billy Connelly in his prime because he’s a very funny man who’s a great story teller with a variety of life experience. My Dad got me into him and always liked him ever since.
Is there a smartphone App you could not live without?
Facebook is basically my online diary and I use it to share photos and keep in touch with my children and family.
How would you describe yourself in 5 words?
Empathetic, friendly, organised, chatty and kind.
If you could go back in time, what advice would you give your younger self?
I think people get more confident as they get older, so I would say believe in yourself and have more confidence.
