Biography: When when I first came to the UK I was only supposed to stay for a few months. But I fell in love with the country and the people and 18 years later I am still here. I can think of no better way to show how much I like living and working here than being a Blue Badge Tourist Guide and helping people see my favourite city through my eyes.

I like London so much that I was awarded the best non-English guide award for my year!

Region for which accredited: London
London site for which accredited: 2012 Venues

Special interests: I am very interested in history and I have a postgraduate qualification in archaeology. For me the British Museum is like a second home and I thoroughly enjoy taking visitors there and helping them understand the great cultures of the past.

But London is not only about the past, it is a buzzing metropolis with a vibrant art scene and one of the best shopping destination in the whole world.

Walking tours: I run two specialised walks on fashion. The first concentrates on the Saville Row and Bond Street area and the second on Knightsbridge and Sloane Street. Both walks explore the history of fashion with special interest in British fashion houses.

Regions offered as British Isles Tour Manager: South East England (Essex, Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, Wiltshire)
