Meet the Committee

I grew up in a picture postcard village in Hampshire and met my husband whilst working for a French chemical company.  We have 2 daughters who attend the Seoul Foreign School, and a golden retriever called Sam who loves walking in Namsan Park.  We haven't lived in the UK for some 14 years, and have enjoyed previous postings in Paris, Mumbai & Shanghai.

On arrival in Seoul I contacted BASS, as it is important to me whilst so far away from home to keep in touch with my roots & British sense of humour.  I enjoy languages, though I'll admit to having little success in Korean.  I have dabbled in various sports, but my favourte forms of exercise include: walking, golfing, dancing & yoga. I am looking forward to our 3rd year here in Seoul & continuing my support of BASS.  Hope to see you soon at the next BASS event! 

I am from Bristol but have lived in Cardiff and Wokingham. Seoul is our first overseas placement and the past 16 months have been exciting and interesting to say the least.  BASS and its friendly members have certainly helped this novice expat survive!

Dave is also a Bristolian and we enjoy walking (especially beside the Han), movies, eating out and watching golf and F1.

I was born in Korea.  I graduated from the Ewha Womans University and completed an MBA in New Jersey, USA.  I have been working for more than 30 years in multi-national companies in roles such as PR and HR Manager. During my MBA course, I visited Korea in my summer vacation and met my husband Gavin who also regularly visited Korea and we eventually married in 1985. We have been living in Korea since then. 

I have received my MBE in 2009.  We have one son, aged 24 years old, who is working in Korea. My interest is watching basketball and listening to rock and roll music.
