I am interested in many things, including animal welfare, conservation and mental health.  I am crazy about dogs and enjoy spending time with my beautiful lab cross Jess and my tiny Jack Russel, Rolo.  I enjoy reading, walking at the beach, drinking tea and eating cake with friends – after walking at the beach – going to gigs, going to the cinema and travelling abroad.  I love acting for fun and have helped to establish our annual Inverness College staff panto!
