I started my career in education at schools in Hampshire and Herefordshire before working with Local Government and latterly, the NHS.

A Governance professional by day, I am currently studying for a Law Degree with the Open University and, when not working or studying, I enjoy writing, photography, travel, food and long walks through the countryside.

I have also volunteered for many years with health charities which has taken me across the UK, delivering talks, and China and South Africa where I worked to deliver healthcare in rural communities.

My commitment to the Farm stems from my keen interest in social and food history. With my experience of corporate governance, I am able to support the Friends in their stewardship and charitable purpose.

I first brought my children to Butser 20 years ago and they loved the site, coming back at first to enjoy the activities and eventually to help run them. I became a Friend and decided to extend my knowledge with an A level in Archaeology.

As a Chartered Building Surveyor, I have always had an interest in vernacular construction and enjoy helping out with maintenance and repairs whenever there is an opportunity. I became a Trustee in 2019, and Chair 2021. This year I will be supporting Stephen as Deputy Chair and as primary link to the Farm.

I am a Communications and Marketing Manager by profession, and have a masters' degree in Professional Writing, but outside of my day job I am also an artist and published children's author. All of my books are rooted in my love for forests and nature, but I particularly adore anthropology, especially when it relates to how people have survived and thrived since ancient times, and this is a theme I return to again and again.

I first visited Butser Ancient Farm on an early date with the man who is now my husband, so it has a very special place in my heart.
