Accountant to Chocolatier via the skies…..
After graduating from university, spending several years as an Accountant and feeling less than inspired, I did what many people thought was “career suicide” and resigned from a well-paid job to follow my life-long dream of becoming a Chocolatier. It was a gamble that I was willing to take. Chocolate was and still is the love of my life!
Chocolate is such a powerful and amazingly evocative food and the number of mouth-watering flavour combinations are limitless. The challenge of finding the best of the best is what drives me. I am obsessed with the process of combining exciting flavours that really work, that alert your senses and ignite your mind.
Just a little bit about my other passion……wingwalking…..
As a young girl I can clearly envisage going to an air show and being utterly spell bound by the girls looping around the skies whilst standing on top of the bi-planes!
The realisation that there was more to life than sitting behind a desk is what inspired me to pursue my obsession of performing as a wingwalker. I then spent two summers flying through the skies of Europe and experienced a sense of freedom and adventure that I will never forget.
I feel so privileged to be have been able to live out the two major passions in my life and I still do the occasional performance.
For now though it’s most definitely all about the Chocolate…!
