About me:

I came to New Zealand from Scotland in 1999 and like to think of myself as a SKiwi. After many years in the newspaper industry, I had a complete career change and became a Personal Trainer this year and love being involved in an industry that helps people.  I’ve been involved in sports and fitness since a young age, playing badminton, doing weight-training, tennis, cycling, running, swimming, and more recently, kickboxing.

Personal Interests:

I enjoy all aspects of fitness and try to challenge myself every time I work out! Life is all about balance and I relish a fine wine and good food. I enjoy most sports and follow tennis, rugby and football closely. I also try to spend as much time as I can with my 10-year-old daughter Rebecca and our Bichon Frise, Skye.
