Since I was I little girl, I have always been interested in photography. I used to take images with my dad’s old Kodak. Once earning a salary; I bought a few cheap point and shoot cameras which ended-up in the garbage bin! I just couldn’t afford the camera equipment I have always dreamt about!

After many years in the Aviation Industry I resigned and went to live in a country far, far away where it was impossible to continue a career in Aviation. My husband encouraged me to pursue my dreams and bought me my first digital camera: a Nikon Coolpix5700. Wow, I was in heaven and I started studying photography through School of Photography.Com

On completion of my studies, I began working as a Freelance photographer specializing in Portrait photography, freelancing for the local newspaper, judging photo competitions locally and for SOP. My big break came when I was employed as a Tutor for School of Photography.com teaching Basic and Glamour Photography.

I now own a Nikon D70.Both the Nikon D70 and Nikon Coolpix5700 aided me in winning numerous awards and competitions, including a Fujifilm price award.
