About Me

I have a huge zest for life and love being creative. I also lenjoy being a Mother and wife and being able to work in an industry that allows for a great deal of variety. I enjoy home life but my work gives me the satisfaction and freedom that I need . ( My husband has Multiple Sclerosis which can be pretty demanding both physically and mentally as he is unable to work unaided).
I love music and as singer/songwriter have worked with several groups over the years gigging in London and abroad. I have played at The Embassy Club, Ronnie Scotts, The dominion Theatre, supporting Ashford and Simpson and Thw Venue Supporting Fat Larries Band. I have made many recordings and have preference for a jazz vibe.
I also love dancing and keeping fit. I Practise yoga on a regular basis and also swim. I enjoy traveling and have been fortunate to have been to many countries.
I also enjoy a healthy diet and lifestyle. As a former gymnast my
early training has helped me to be disciplined.
I love clothes and putting styles together and customizing garments to suit me.
