“When I am not focusing on work, I have discovered through meditation, which I love, how to switch my mindset and focus on myself. This includes my incredible family: my three amazing, hard-working, and talented daughters, and my supportive husband of 20 years. And of course, I can’t forget the baby of our family, Truffles, our little Shih Tzu. We love spending time together, have a passion for travel, are major foodies, and thrive in the vibrant life of London.”
