After university, I spent a year working and travelling in Australia and New Zealand, including running a backpacker Travel Agency in Brisbane.  When I came back to the UK, I applied for a job at Gullivers to work on Rugby World Cup 1999.  The prospect of working in sport and travel was very appealing and I've worked on every Rugby World Cup and Lions Tour since, as well as plenty more in between.

My favourite place to travel is New Zealand - it's beautiful, very friendly and has great wine! My favourite moment at Gullivers was watching England win the World Cup in Australia in 2003, but I think my absolute favourite was the Gullivers Big Pub before the final Lions Test in Johannesburg in 2009: We held it at Soweto Rugby Club and raised money and organised a spare kit donation for the children there, as well as our supporters playing a friendly against Soweto Vets team.  The atmosphere was amazing and I think the locals as well as our supporters had a really memorable day, including the 50+ coach convoy with police outriders from Soweto to Ellis Park for the game!

In my spare time, I like to spend time with my two small boys, walking, baking and reading.
