Celebrity crush?
It’ll always be Brad Pitt. Oh and Jaime Camil (he cracks me up)
Describe your perfect day in the city?
Sunshine, live music and good food.
Sum up Belfast in three words?
Exciting, positive vibes.
What is the best thing about being a teacher?
Meeting, working with and learning from people who come from all over the world. It’s a very cool way to spend the day!
What was your most embarrassing moment?
Oh far too many to remember just one- I embarrass myself on a daily basis.

My grandmother’s wedding ring – it’s very special to me.
What makes you unhappy?
Unfairness.
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
A writer but, as cheesy as it sounds, a teacher too. A lot of family members are/were teachers and I grew up surrounded by people who loved their job (well most days anyway 😉
What is your guiltiest pleasure?
A can of ice cold Red Bull and a mountain of chocolate – the dream snack for me.

I use the words lovely,at the end of the day and to be honest far too much.

Chopping onions for hours on end in a restaurant.

My son

Worrying (usually about stupid things) or when I drink too much Red Bull 🙂
Tell us a secret .
I’ve never been roller skating, ice skating or skateboarding- any kind of skating.
What is top of your bucket list?
Visiting South America starting with Colombia.
How do you relax?
Cuddling up in front of the fire with a good movie or TV series.
What single thing would improve the quality of your life?
Some sort of teleportation machine to take me to and from Belfast every day so I didn’t have to spend so long on the train.
Where would you most like to be right now?
On a beach somewhere hot or having a pub lunch in Carlingford followed by a walk along the water with our dogs.
What is your favourite word?
Lovely .
What or who is the greatest love of your life?
My little boy
