Coming from Aberdeen in Scotland most of us only know Oil as it is, or should I say was, the main employment in that area. After moving to Dubai I then moved into the travel industry which was a big change and learning curve which I very much enjoy.

And it goes without saying I LOVE working with number’s.. so that helps of course

I really love all variety of music so I spend time, when I can, going to see live bands in concert at weekends.

I love to travel and also enjoy testing my photography skills (which are pretty amateur!) whilst travelling. Making memories and experiences new things with my family, friends, husband and now children is priceless in value. Apart from that my two step children and one year old keep me busy especially at the weekends between swimming, football and basketball they all participate in sports and classes.
