CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I have worked to develop communities for over 25 years. I am married with 2 children and believe it is my responsibility to share what I have learned to facilitate the leadership potential of the next generation. It is my privilege to support a team of young people, through my job, to gain their confidence and to create the opportunities to them to experience the challenge of leading others and I enjoy us reflecting on these experiences together so that they are able grow into effective leaders early.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a privilege born from the previous generations' efforts and a responsibility to hand over a precious an inheritance to the next generation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far. I have been encouraged by my young colleagues to become involved because it coincides with my beliefs about sharing resources.

Interests

Work is very time consuming as are my responsibilities to my children. However, I love reading and listening to BBC Radio 4, the World Service while knitting.

I love to walk and generally spend an hour a day walking in order to sorted out problems and clarify ideas.
