A bit about my Background
I’m originally from Sunderland, which is in the North East of England UK. I became a Charitable Trust Fundraiser working with Youth and Community Projects in Sunderland.   

I did three part-time employed jobs while also caring for my two daughters and studying for my Open University degree. I finally graduated with a BSc Hons Degree, and a Diploma in Economics. 

I was also employed in European Funding with the City of Sunderland College and later took up employment with Government Office NE through Tyne-Wear Partnerships. That position was based in Sunderland Civic Centre in the Chief Executives Department, I finally ended my stint of being an employee in 2007. 

Running a Property Management Business 2005 -2016

In 2005 I supported my then partner John Scott as we set up a student lettings and property management business. We worked hard to get started with next to no money, with only two landlords and just five houses, our aim was to double business within the first six months and double again in the following six months. That is exactly what we did.  

Unfortunately, I lost my partner when he died suddenly in the December of 2006, just as the business we had started together was coming together and beginning to give us a decent income. I continued that business and had support from my eldest daughter while I was still employed. I completely quit being an employee during 2007.  2009 met the man I would spend 11 years in a relationship with.
