I'm equal parts petrolhead and passport stamp collector—always up for a road trip, a workout, or a weekend getaway.
I'm someone curious about the world, both past and present. My work is a central part of who I am, but outside of that, I’m drawn to the more mysterious corners of life — crime and forensic documentaries, seeing how science unravels the truth, unsolved mysteries, and the fascinating (and sometimes absurd) world of conspiracy theories. I am interested in English history and archaeology, how the past shapes the present. I enjoy experimenting with Asian cuisine. I am a hobby butterfly. I dislike ice cream and always have.
I’ve worked at Slades since 2013. Outside of work, you’ll most likely find me planning my next travel adventure, seeking out great restaurants, or enjoying a scenic view with a glass of wine (or two!).

I go to the gym for strength training and play badminton with family every week.
I am a passionate traveller, having explored the world with India being my go-to destination. I am a keen cook, I love experimenting with Asian cuisine, blending flavours and spices from my travels. I love a nice long walk in nature, and hope in the future, my walks can involve a furry companion.
