When her parents divorced her life was split between England and Northern Ireland, but the help she received during this time led her to want to help others in her own career. She says, "lots of us take wrong turnings in life... we find ourselves in a job or a situation where we feel uncomfortable or feel things are not quite right and I think it's important to know that in the future we can look at alternatives and find something that is more suited to us".
