The Core of Her Personal “Who”
An addict to the magic of words, She enjoys writing short stories and poetry since youth. She is now in the process of compiling her poems into a book of verse for publication. Some of her happiest moments are found during family-time, with her three children aged between 16 and 9. A yoga practitioner for over 35 years, she professes a long-standing love for wellness retreats around the world, finds joy in solitary walks in the Scottish highlands and bluebell spotting in the countryside. Armed with the curiosity of the cats she love, she has an irrepressible love for life-long learning.
