A little about me :
I love to paint, weave and sketch and I have had my artwork exhibited in the Ulster Museum and at Stormont in Belfast.
I danced ballet for 18 years and have recently returned to ballet classes in NYC which brings me great joy!
On occasion I write poetry, inspired by the work of my Great Grandmother, Freda Laughton.
I dedicate spare time to supporting local and international organizations such as, Cancer Research UK, the Simon Community in Northern Ireland, Get Up and Go Colombia, Queens Together in NYC and many more.
I have lived and worked as a digital nomad for the last 3 years and I am ever excited by meeting new people and exploring new places.
