What do I do?
I’m currently a Project Manager working for DXC Technology.
I am part of an organisation that manages IT Infrastructure Services – including hosting, cloud, and transformation.
I have a sense of adventure. In my spare time I love to try as many new things as possible, and have a bucket list as long as my arm. So, while I have achieved many things so far in life including travelled to many parts of the world (currently visited 5 continents), eaten my fair share of exotic foods, and drank many a fine wine, I maintain the hunger for something new.
That said, there’s nothing better than closing the door on a cold winder’s night, putting one’s feet up in front of a fire with my family around me and veging out watching a film while eating something satisfyingly bad for me.
