Socialising, shopping, singing, salsa dancing, tennis and the music of Jules Holland.

You've worked in the media.

Yes. I worked for HTV for 17 years as a researcher, producer and director on both Welsh and English programmes - a great opportunity to learn different skills.

I'm a personal tutor to a number of Assembly Members and I help them to use the Welsh language in their work in the Assembly, in tv and radio interviews and socially.

Do you enjoy the work?

Yes, very much. I feel that we work together to create a bilingual workplace.
