PROFILE
Away from work she spends time with her husband and her two ungovernable dogs. She’s explored 52 countries to date.
Holding a baby cheetah in Namibia, snorkelling between two tectonic plates in Iceland and being nudged by a silverback gorilla in the Rwandan highlands are some of the highlights. In recent travels she was bombarded with solid tree branches by a wild orangutan, determined to shift her out of his territory. Such adventures leave her well equipped to manage the creative dance of TVC production.
