I’m a running “addict” ... I cannot imagine not being able to run! It really is so much more than simply ‘keeping fit’. It gives you the opportunity to completely switch off and relax (yes you read that right…. running is relaxing!) Those of you that know me well are aware that I’ve been running for ...
So those of you that know me are aware that last year I decided to start studying for a master’s degree in Cloud Computing (part-time alongside starting a new job!) and many of you have asked me how it’s going and whether I think it’s been worth it so I thought I’d write a short ...
I remember the days of dial-up internet, a basic mobile phone and film-based camera's ! Reflecting back I realise that today I take technology for granted, I never bother to look at a physical map (I just ask my iPhone to give me directions!), I'm impatient when my 50MB podcast takes longer than 10 seconds ...
Last week I was lucky enough to join a group of 14 women from across EMC UK&I at the Women of the future conference where there were over 300 attendees from a variety of global organizations - It was a really interesting day and I thought i'd share some of my key takeaways. The theme for ...

I've now been running on and off for nearly 5 years ; its one of those sports where so much emphasis is placed on fitness & timings that you forget about benefits such as stress relief and state of mind. When I consider my own reasons to run I often also get clouded by comments ...
Don't you just feel like time is just flying past us, I cannot believe that 2012 is coming to an end already! The years are flying past me and it still hasn't sunk in that i'm now in my late twenties... with this in mind I think it is worth reflecting on the previous year ...
What advice would you give to IT students in their final year? After spending some time at university career fairs I've asked myself this question, it only seems like yesterday when I was aimlessly wondering around my university career fair and now 5 years later I'm reflecting on what I've done and how I've got to ...
Did you know that when your presenting your audience will remember 70% of the start, 20% of the middle of your presentation and 100% at the end.... that means that during the "meat" of your presentation your audience will forget 80% of it!! So it was interesting to learn about how to grab & keep ...
