A temporary summer job bought me to Gullivers back in July 1997 and I never left! Current day to day role involves organising youth rugby festivals, really getting involved at grass roots level, and worldwide playing tours, giving older
Having graduated with a degree in Geography, I did some travelling while I was working at a travel agency in London. Looking for a new challenge and to relocate, the role at Gullivers on the Rugby World Cup in 1999 was ideal.
Having worked in hospitality and events at weekends and in school holidays, I finished Sixth Form and went to Bournemouth Uni to complete my Events Management degree.
My home town is Johannesburg, South Africa, and wanting to discover a little of my heritage (my mother was born in Sussex), as well as enjoy new challenges and adventure, I moved to the UK and joined Gullivers in February 2016.
Sport has always been a massive part of my life; growing up, my weekends were always spent on a sports field of some sort, be it rectangular or circular.
After a Sports Science degree and a year working in Sports Administration, I got "cajoled" into joining Gullivers just prior to the 1999 Rugby World Cup and Cricket World Cup - and I have never left!
After completing a degree at Writtle College, I spent two years in Canada coaching football at College and senior level. This was a great experience where I met some fantastic people and made some great friends.
As like all that work for Gullivers, sport and travel have been a major part of my life to date. I went on my first rugby tour as an energetic eight year old, where we left no stone unturned on a tour to Barry Island!
Since the age of six, I have been involved in all forms of sport, playing rugby and football at club level as well as representing my school in badminton and athletics.
After 33 years in the RAF - during which I enjoyed 28 seasons of Services cricket and organising seven overseas tours, I was looking for a role to continue my passion for cricket.
