I've lived in Dundee all my life and now run my own business here in the sunniest City in Scotland.

I'm a marketer and event manager who is addicted to Twitter & Facebook. I work with lots of businesses to help them drive business growth through their strategic marketing.

I love to read books, listen to all sorts of music, socialise and meet people.

I'm also an avid Dundee United fan & season ticket holder and have trained my son well in the tangerine arts!

I'm currently the Chair of Women Ahead, the Dundee & Angus businesswomen's network.

hmmm.....influencees & inspirations: I've been inspired in business by some of the people I've worked with in senior management who have motivated me to work hard and achieve many things.

My family inspires me and without them I wouldn't be able to have achieved my goal of working for myself.

I am also greatly inspired by beautiful shoes & hangbags and aspire to many many more!

The sunshine and scenery around Dundee & Scotland inspires me too - its rewards encourage me to work hard so that I can enjoy leisuretime.

One of my goals is a stunning self-build house with lots of glass on a high plot of land overlooking the water somewhere......

My grandmother was a great inspiration to me - her stories of her life were amazing, funny and sometimes sad. She lived through both world wars, worked for herself most of her adult life and was incredibly resourceful. She was also my rock after my Mum passed away and was great fun and very sociable.
