In my leisure time aside from enjoying my family growing up, I have been a special
constable which has given me the training to deal with stressful situations and difficult
people, which I now use regularly in my work. Also I have my FA coaching badges and
have run girls football teams at both under 13 and under 16. This led directly to my being
asked to join the local scout group where the training has enabled me to run lots of camps
and trips here in the UK and abroad. Part of running trips abroad requires use of foreign
languages so I have learnt Polish and Latvian.
