"The allure of the New Forest and its ancient beauty really drew me in. Moving here, especially after growing up in the hustle of London, has been a transformative experience. It's taught me the profound impact our environment has on our lives, our creativity, and our work."

"Transitioning from fashion to acting wasn't just a career change, it was a return to my first love. It's fascinating how one decision can completely alter the course of your life, leading to new passions and unexpected journeys, like starting a podcast during lockdown which has now become an integral part of my professional life."

"Working with stunt trainees at Pinewood Studios has been an eye-opening experience. It's incredible to see these accomplished athletes, known for their physical prowess, face their fears and embrace the vulnerability of acting. Witnessing their transformation by the end of the course is a powerful reminder of the universal need for self-expression."
