Finance Manager · At Ashridge since 2023

“I absolutely love spring. It feels like everything, including me, is coming out of hibernation.”

I’m Finance Manager here at Ashridge, and I’ve been in the role since December 2023.

How did you end up at Ashridge? I replied to a post in my local town’s Facebook group.

Which plant would you recommend to anyone? Scent from Heaven roses. We were given one as a wedding anniversary present, and it still flourishes and blooms every year. The smell is amazing.

Describe your garden in a sentence. A place of natural calm, with water features, seating areas, acer trees and some fruit and veg grown on the side, plus some children’s play equipment thrown in for good measure.

What do you do away from work? I focus on keeping healthy and relaxed. I have a keen interest in holistic therapy, running and strength training.

This or that: Tea or coffee? It always has to be coffee for me.
