What music do you like – any specific genre or artists?
I’m a massive fan of country music so I would have to say Kenny Rogers, a legend who has written some absolute classics.
How would you describe yourself in 5 words?
Approachable, organised, hard-working, empathetic and adaptive.
What’s your favourite food?
My husband loves Indian food so we eat that quite a lot, but I’m a big Italian fan. My favourite dish is Gamberoni in garlic sauce.
What film or boxset would you recommend to others?
I do enjoy a good crime drama or thriller so probably something like Criminal Minds, NCIS or Luther.
Do you have a favourite book and why?
I like to read a real mix of books, from romance novels to thrillers, but Blood Orange by Harriet Tyce is a gripping story about a Criminal Barrister who has a toxic affair.
If you could go back in time, what advice would you give your younger self?
Not to worry about the future. You’ll end up where you are meant to be.
