My parents taught me to play bridge and soon I was hooked. I played many all-night rubber bridge sessions while studying Physics at Oxford University. These turned out to be excellent practice for the all-nighters I later pulled in my career as a management consultant. While bringing up my two sons I retrained as a psychotherapist and worked at St Thomas’s Hospital for several years. Just before covid I found my way to Andrew Robson and my bridge passion was re-ignited.
I became an American National Champion at my first US Nationals in Austin in 2021. Partnering Michael Byrne I won a bronze medal at the World Open Transnationals in Marrakesh in 2023. In 2024 I represented England in the Open, Mixed and Women’s categories – winning our weekend of the Camrose, winning the Lady Milne and coming 6th in the European Championships in Herning as part of the England mixed team, thus qualifying for the Worlds. We also won the Hubert Philips Trophy.
In 2025 I moved to Italy, and that year won the bronze medal in the Italian mixed teams Championships and The Cagliari Cup at the Sardinia Bridge Festival. I represented England in the World Championships. Winning the gold medal in the Winter European Championships has been the bridge highlight of 2026.
