⭐ Meet Elaine ⭐
1. What’s something you genuinely look forward to at the end of a busy week?
Attending my early Saturday morning outdoor circuit training, (whatever the weather) which sets me up for the weekend.
2. If you could instantly become an expert in any skill (serious or silly), what would you choose and why?
Speaking different languages because I love going to new places and trying to learn about the place and the people.
3. What’s a small joy or simple pleasure that never fails to make your day better?
A phone call with a friend or family member at home in Ireland, usually whilst walking the dog so it is protected time with no interruptions!
4. Which place — near or far — feels like your “happy place,” and what makes it special to you?
A small village in Northern Spain, close to Figueres. It has been a repeat holiday destination for over 20 years with the family, and it is a serious chill out and ‘do nothing’ kind of place, in a beautiful part of the country, by the sea and close to the mountains.
5. What food, drink, or treat is your ultimate comfort go to, no matter the occasion?
My daughter’s homemade brownie.
6. If you could meet any person from history (living or dead, real or fictional) who would it be and why?
Emmeline Pankhurst. From my adopted home of Manchester and a fierce advocate for women and the deprived in society.
7. What do you love about your job?
Hard to pick one thing! The challenge and the unexpected, every day is different, the opportunity to improve the quality of people’s lives after life changing injuries and getting to work alongside awesome professionals to achieve that.
8. What’s your pet hate? Don’t hold back 😊
Poor communication. It is the root of, and solution to, most problems.
