​In Brief






​Having spent most of my life living overseas, both whilst growing up and then with my husband, I have a limited paid-working background and history.  

This limited paid-work experiences can be found under Past Employment.

Educated and trained in the UK (with a year at the Alliance Francaise in Paris), I would holiday overseas with my family (Nigeria, Brasil and Pakistan) and latterly I became an overseas resident with my husband, (Italy, Dubai and Kenya).

Volunteering





As an adult expatriate, living in Italy, Dubai and Kenya, I was able to enjoy the availability of volunteering.  This granted me invaluable knowledge of the country I was living in, with the ability to offer help to people; organisations and animals in need; worthwhile causes and the community.   Whilst in Italy, I took to teaching young children English.  Thereby, I managed to learn some Italian!
​

Volunteering helped me to make new friends, and give me a sense of purpose, meaning, direction and fulfilment. ​​

Websites





I have maintained a fascination with websites being used as an alternative to publications.  As I gathered information whilst living abroad, I decided to build some websites of my own.  This I have now achieved.

In the meantime, some small organisations and charities commissioned me to build them a free simple website.​

Presentations / Publications






I have always enjoyed writing, especially compiling Newsletters and other publications.  I seemed to be a hoarder of facts, especially if I found no other written material on the subject at issue.  This was how I ended up compiling a website on all things animal - collective nouns, similes, metaphors, an idioms.  
​
Back at the UK, I had my own quality magazine - The Smooth Guide - covering events and facilities for parents, carers children and teachers living in West Surrey.  It had a circulation of over 18,000 and a delivery programme to 48 schools.
