Hi,

As a New Zealander I have a great love of the outdoors and anything sports related.  
I spent my entire childhood either competing as a equestrian show-jumper or climbing mountains in New Zealand.
My skill as a Chartered Accountant and passion for sport inspired me to set up two sports charities for children here in London and I also help run our local athletic club, which is right on our doorstep - in Finsbury Park.  I coach the young children three days a week. 
As a UK Athletics coach, it has been a very exciting time in London, as since the Olympic Games, I have had the opportunity to work alongside several international coaches who coached the Great Britain Olympic athletic team.  As a result I have become a "mad guru" on running technique and injury prevention, which is always a useful skill to have - for oneself especially!!  But of course, I am very happy to offer guidance and tips to others, should they ask.
I speak fluent French and holiday regularly in southern France and Spain, where I have Spanish family.  We also love visiting other countries, and hope to have another holiday in the USA soon....
My motto in life:  Happiness comes from helping others -  especially when it comes from the heart.
