- How long have you worked at Tennis Wales? 9 months
- What is your background? My background has primarily been in the education sector working in the field of advice and guidance. I have previously been employed by Cheshire County Council and Wirral Borough Council as a Team Manager and by the Greater Merseyside Connexions Partnership as an Operations Manager.
- What do you enjoy most about working for Tennis Wales?I'm fortunate to work with colleagues who are incredibly helpful and supportive and as I'm still relatively new to the organisation this has made a real difference. I enjoy liaising with local clubs, players and coaches to promote activities across North Wales and answer any queries they might have.
- What are your hobbies? I enjoy cycling and swimming and play the guitar (badly!). I also have a very active 'tennis mad' son and find large amounts of my spare time being utilised as an unpaid taxi service to ferry him to and from training and competitions!
- What is your favourite film? I'm a bit of a sci-fi geek and have watched Blade Runner and the original Star Wars Trilogy far too many times! On the flip-side having taken my son to so many films while he was younger I've a real soft spot for Disney Pixar movies and can't wait for Toy Story 4 to come out (don't tell anyone!)
