Personal Profile

An independent qualified careers consultant working from Norfolk. Main areas of expertise are diagnostic interviewing for career choice, psychometric testing, change management and redundancy counselling, job search skills including research, CV and application assistance and interview preparation.

I am currently a member of the Eaton Parishes Choir as a second soprano.
I am a Brownie unit helper! This means I get to play a lot and make things out of cardboard boxes.

I once took part the world record breaking attempt for the number of people to fit into a mini for children in need. I am short.

I am a big fan of Michael Caine and have a signed picture to me on my office wall.
