Family is everything to me. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, physical fitness, and audiobooks/podcasts about history.

I’m a great believer that openness and vulnerability are key to forming positive, productive relationships; something I’m striving to improve at. When I’m not chasing a pre-schooler around, you’ll find me delving into my increasingly uncool record collection, hunting down London’s best fried chicken or questioning why I ever decided to support Crystal Palace.

My family and friends are my focus. When I’m not spending time with them, I love to workout and bake.

I’m a people person, and love nurturing my relationships with my family and friends – as well as meeting new people. In my free time, I love to go to the theatre, bury my nose in a book, or explore the countryside with my dog.

I spend most of my free time chasing after my two young (energetic!) children, but when I’m not in ‘mum mode’ I enjoy swimming, jogging, expensive cocktails and a good natter with friends.

Fun, laughter and personal growth are important to me. I’m a dolphin at heart; I love the water and to swim – my goal is to live beside the sea someday. I spend my spare time travelling, soaking in new and enriching experiences to broaden my mind.

I love creative problem-solving: from creating retro video-games using outdated software, to rock climbing on the cliffs and mountains around the Pacific Northwest, I enjoy anything that tests both my creativity and logic.

I’m passionate about actively spending time outside through running, biking, swimming, or hiking. And when I’m not outside, you can find me throwing on the pottery wheel, getting lost in a book or movie, or cooking dinner with my family.

Fun and laughter are very important to me! I like to make sure there’s enough for everyone. I also enjoy whizzing about on my bicycle, exploring places, organising stuff, any sport that doesn’t require any skill, and plagiarising the odd tune.

What’s important to me is making sure I (and my loved ones) stay healthy and balanced. I love to stay active through running, biking, hiking, swimming, and yoga, as well as connecting with my creativity and the earth through travel, gardening, bee keeping, photography and more.

The idea of community and collective responsibility is important to me – appreciating that ‘no man is an island’ and we should all be doing our part to help, raise and support others. Outside of work I try to live playfully, as inspired by my kids. Whether it’s splashing in muddy puddles, scooting down a hill or painting our faces.

Seeing my kids happy and thriving is imperative to me, so I spend most of my free time ferrying them around to various activities. I enjoy good times with friends and am partial to an Aperol Spritz, followed by good food and wine.

Keeping a positive outlook and being optimistic is important to me. I’m the annoying friend who looks for the best in situations rather than letting you just rant about a problem. My favourite definition of an Optimist is someone who figures taking a step backwards after taking one forwards isn’t a disaster – it’s more like a cha-cha! That definitely sums it up for me!

Living my life with love and compassion is my top priority. I really enjoy connecting with the outside world, whether it’s meeting new people or exploring new places with my loved ones (I’m a huge fan of the national parks!).

I try to get a little bit better every day in all aspects of life, from parenting and relationships to personal skills and professional competence. Some of my passions are playing and coaching table tennis, continually exploring all things Barcelona, and learning languages.

Spending quality time with family and friends is extremely important to me. I enjoy playing with my kids, taking long walks with the family, going to the beach to swim and playing a few rounds of golf.

Spending my time and energy with people I love is paramount – usually it’s over some hearty food, or while running after my very friendly, very cheeky dog.

I’m a new mum so a lot of my time outside of work is focused on family and friends. When I can, I love travelling to new places, exploring hidden beaches and swimming in the sea.

I enjoy travelling to new places and am at my happiest when high in the mountains or with sand between my toes. My simple pleasures in life include country walks, Greek food, a strong cosmopolitan and laughing until it hurts.

Fostering an overall sense of wellbeing for myself and others is important to me. I love to spend my free time with friends doing just about anything, especially wine tasting (living in wine country – San Francisco – facilitates that!). I also value my solo time and am an avid reader and crossword puzzle enthusiast.

Being healthy and happy are the two most important things to me and that I would wish for others. I also love being outdoors and am a keen runner, having recently completed my second marathon.
