I am an in teaching status PADI Master Instructor with over 1200 certifications, my Pro number 271274.  I have been diving since 2002, when I learned to dive in Dahab in December 2002.  The following Easter I was returned to complete my AOW.  I progressed with London School of Diving from Rescue to Master Instructor.  I work as a freelance instructor on weekends at LSD, not only teaching but assisting in running the dive centre; taking booking, replying to customer emails and phone calls and dealing with customers face to face.

At present I am the Chiswick Store Manager for Mike’s Dive Store, the UK’s largest scuba retail store.  I run the day to day managing of the store, dealing with sales, stock take, customer service, servicing and staff HR.  Since joining the team sales have increased by 6% in comparison to the same period in 2023.  I am certified to change batteries in all Novo and D-series Suunto dive computers.

I worked as a dive guide at the Two Oceans Aquarium for two years from 2014, taking tourists for dives in the three enclosures – Kelp Forest Exhibit, I & J Ocean Exhibity and Save Our Seas Foundation Shark Exhibit.

I have over 25 years experience in working in an office environment.  I worked for over 20 years for a construction company in London, starting as Office Manager and progressed to Maintenance Manager, Group Buyer and Logistics and Facilities Manager.  I am still the Executive Assistant to one of the founding Directors.
