The most embarrassing thing about me
I talk to animals even when nobody else is around. I’m hoping one day they will answer me back.
Nobody knows about me
When I was a dancer, I broke my toes so many times that now they are weird looking.

Favourite place in the world
I haven’t found my favourite place in the world yet because I still have so much more exploring to do.
What do you like about working with Edge
Knowing I can have a positive impact on someone’s life, and I love how varied the work is.
What I enjoy doing outside of work
Hobbies: Being outside, writing, reading, swimming, being with my pets, performing and learning new skills (currently trying to learn how to roller skate and play the keyboard. Neither are going great but I’m keeping at it!)
Makes me different
I come from a creative and science background and I bring those skills to the table. I really focus on the self-esteem and self-worth of our clients.
