Career in Brief

After completing my studies at what is now Middlesex University I went into an Human Resource role and have never looked back. Joining the Royal Garden Hotel as Recruitment Officer, before moving onto the Park Lane Hotel my first Human Resource Management position.

In 2000 I joined the teaching team at Oxford Brookes as a part-time Associate lecturer in HR.

Hobbies and Passions

Other than my husband Peter of course, I love Rugby and have been a member of Wasps rfu since a friend at the Savoy introduced me in 1990. Almost every weekend in the season involves either going to a game or watching it on TV.

I have also been fortunate enough to visit several other countries to watch the game. When I am not watching Rugby I enjoy the company of friends and visiting our house in Fitou, where the wine is fabulous!
