IN A NUTSHELL

My career path has been a curvy avenue towards the work I do today. As a partner to a military man, the option was to keep my skills and experience honed on the assistance/support arena. There, I was able to apply my skills to employment with a variety of HNW individuals as well as take part in a 'nomadic' life that aligns with the military wives remit.

Professional Temping as a PA/EA was my go-to position while working in and around London. Latterly, I enlisted in a military welfare support role which I held for over a decade, and it worked perfectly for the re-training I undertook in psychology.

Since redundancy, in 2020, I created a semi-retired lifestyle, travelling the UK in a campervan, and providing counselling through veterans charities.

Key skills: flexibility, calm approach, diligence and persistence as well as a heap of resilience.

Check out my CV overview below.
