That first cup of tea in the morning.
How would your friends and colleagues describe you?
Calm, creative, kind, hard-working (possibly a workaholic) and someone who will always support them and go the extra mile.

What talent do you wish you had?
I wish I could play the piano. I’d love to sit down at the piano in St Pancras Station and play something amazing.

I don’t have a favourite band really, I like all kinds of popular music, some 80s music, a bit of classical music, all sorts really.
Where is your favourite place in the world?
Charlotte Amalie harbour in St Thomas – sailing out of there as the sun is setting is such a beautiful experience.
What’s your favourite book?
George Don’t Do That by Joyce Grenfell. It’s a really endearing tale about young children in nursery school.
If you could change one thing about where you work what would it be?
