I am a creative soul living in an accountant's body. I have managed diverse projects and teams for the past 12 years, specialising in audit, information systems and financial management. I moved to the island of Bahrain in 2007, where I have successfully established processes that support audit communications to the Board and Management. My free time is spent counselling a local photography chapter and participating in alumni activities of his alma mater, the University of Edinburgh.
