A little about me:

When I'm not at work I love spending time with my family, we enjoy going on day trips and finding new adventures to keep us busy! Baking is my therapy; I started baking as a hobby in 2021 and now make cakes professionally (although very part time). I teach Sunday school at my church; I love working with the children and finding new and exciting ways to teach them about the bible. I also sing on my church worship team on a Sunday.
