For almost 25 years I worked at a local pharmaceutical company as a Biomedical Information Scientist supporting drug projects in the Respiratory, Inflammation and Oncology areas. I graduated from Nottingham Trent University with a BSc HONS in Biomedical Science so together with my work experience and education I have a strong physiology and anatomy background essential for an effective Pilates Instructor.
On a personal level, I am a great lover of sport. Originally from Loughborough I swam competitively as a child for many years. Nowadays, as well as my Pilates, I like to run and I enjoy the gym. I was so proud to have ran the Virgin London Marathon in 2019, raising over £4,000 for Breast Cancer NOW.
