About meIn my early twenties I spent three years traveling the world where I developed my fascination for peo-ple and photography. I love the truth in portraiture. I’m increasingly interested in current affairs and I’ve always adored the cinema. I’m keen on fitness; including a black belt in kickboxing.

To do my job well I need to be an excellent communicator, a competent organiser and have an incred-ibly sharp eye for detail. I am assertive by nature so my decision-making skills are close to hand for those necessary moments. I handle pressure effectively whilst often having to think on my feet. I shouldn’t leave off the fact that I’m known for my rather silly sense of humour.
