I enjoy learning and sharing that knowledge. Sharing has been in many forms over the years, as a teaching assistant, university lecturer, Pilates instructor, math tutor and just sharing with friends and family. Throughout, summarizing what I have learnt in words has always been there and continues to through blog posts, articles, video and the ever growing forms of content out there!

I’ve not had the opportunity to grow up with pets.  Once I was old enough and independent enough, had my own money and place, I got a dog.  A dream come true for me!  It was an exciting time!  Learn about breeds, choosing a breed, finding someone to get a dog from, how to train […]

There was a lot of free time to fill during the pandemic.  For some this meant new hobbies, eating, watching Netflix as a sport, shopping online and so many other things.  For me it meant coming up with ideas I would never have.  While browsing the internet on an exceptionally uneventful evening during the Covid-19 […]
