How long have you been working in the outdoor industry? | 13 years |

What do you love most about your job? | Everything! I do so many different things throughout the day that it's always interesting. |
What do you like least about your job? | Ummmm...I'll get back to you on that. It's all good! (Though the office can get a bit nippy in the winter!) |
What do you do for fun? | Try and grow vegetables on my allotment, with varying success!
Go running or swimming, though not as often as I should! |
What’s your ultimate ambition? | To have a little house in the countryside and be able to keep my own chickens, and a few goats too! |
What’s your favourite… | |
…climb/walking route, etc? | Right-hand Route at the Roaches - it's not hard but it's still enjoyable! |
…river/paddling venue, etc? | Somewhere scenic - Loch Shiel is really beautiful. |
…book? | Haven't got a clue, I love to read and there's too many to choose from. I really enjoyed "The Shadow of the Wind!" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, and I love Harry Potter! |
…film? | Dirty Dancing! (and proud of it!) |

Something not a lot of people know about you: | I competed in my first triathlon in 2008 - but I haven't decided if I'm crazy enough to do another one yet! |
