I originally trained and qualified as an Environmental Health Officer, then I took a career change to Business Development and Business mentoring across the private and Third sectors, championing charities and start up businesses and helping shape their governance. I continue to support and mentor start up businesses.

I took on my current role as Operations Director for Highland-Escape.com in early 2024, managing a luxury exclusive use holiday home and wedding venue overlooking the banks of Loch Ness as it affords me the opportunity to promote the best the Highlands has to offer for our visitors. I'm passionate about regenerative tourism and I am keen to showcase all the hidden gems we have here in the Highlands.

I joined HBW in 2019, and lurked in the background, then in January 2024, I attended our annual charity of the year selection event and was completely blown away by the charities we had pitching to us, so that when the charity ambassador role became vacant on our Board, I applied and have not looked back since. It is an absolute honour for me to champion our charity, and to see it grow because of our members support is amazing.
