ARTWORKS

My artworks I painted many years ago – portraits of Coco Chanel, John Lennon and Leonardo Da Vinci. I can’t part ways with them.

HEIRLOOM BRACELETS

Bracelets my grandmother gave me. I adore these, I wear them every day. I’m the third generation to receive them. 

FIFA MEDAL

When I covered the FIFA U20 World Cup in Korea in 2017, FIFA gave me a medal as a gift.

MY NIKON

My camera. I love taking photos pitch side at football games (when I have time).

DOGS

My dogs Ringo, a labradoodle, and Aspen, a white poodle.
