Gemma in the spotlight

Outside of work…

I enjoy spending time with my little boy and taking him to feed the ducks.

My favourite place to holiday is…

The Isle of Wight. It was my favourite childhood holiday location.

One skill I’d like to master is…

To be able to learn a new language and speak it fluently.

My favourite saying is…

“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”

I like this quote because it points out that life isn’t easy, but you can choose to be happy regardless.
