About Me

I moved from Brentwood Essex at the age of 17 to pursue my music in London Town. After the days of the girl group were over i started working as a receptionist in casinos. I managed to move up the ladder, where i organised and lead my own team of 10 staff, created a national Staff customer service training tool kit for the company, which is still currently being used to improve the standards of customer service. I then went on to become an events and marketing director for another national gaming industry, where i successfully raised the sales of business by 50% from my entertainment nights and customer service standards. I successfully organised an event where the guests included a few celebrity names, the evening was a soulful indulgence and the profile was raised for this branch. I became a mother of my first child in January 2010, giving birth to a beautiful baby boy and all natural (No gas and Air). Unfortunately i was admitted back into hospital a week later with a mild stroke. 15 months on, and i have never felt more positive about my future, optimisim can be a good thing, we all need to hope something good will happen...right???
