“Outside of work, you’ll usually find me with my kids. First and foremost I’m a mama, and I find so much joy in exploring together, whether that’s museums, the theatre or just a day out. I took up running after having them and have since completed a few races, which has been incredible. I’m also an avid reader and run a local book club that raises money for our community centre. I’m a big believer in giving back, so you’ll often spot me volunteering or at local events.”

I’m the Client Relationships Director at Better Decor, a painting and decorating business I run with my partner, Eddie. We specialise in restoration and woodwork with premium finishes, from period doors and staircases to panelling and joinery, across new-builds and renovations for homeowners.

My role covers client relations, team leadership and strategic planning. I manage every customer enquiry and oversee the whole client journey, from first contact through to aftercare, so the experience is smooth and professional from start to finish. I also build and nurture relationships with other professionals, growing a network based on trust and quality work.
