My working life started as a trainee accountant in a local accountancy practice. I soon realized that my place was on the other side of the coin and moved to the business sector in project administration roles. I worked for a while in a large PLC plastics firm as the Group Administrator, moving on I worked for 5 years as the Project Administrator in a joint partnership project between Salford University, Manchester Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Manchester Training and Enterprise Council and Cable and Wireless Telecommunications.
This was at the start of the business internet revolution and the project was funded by the government to help small and medium enterprises understand the internet and its powerful message in the new business world. The remaining 2 years in the UK, before embarking on my new life in Spain, was spent working as a Business Consultancy Project Administrator for KPMG Auditors, the second largest auditing company in the UK.
I had no idea what to expect when I started my new adventure. On my own, in a new country, not speaking the language and starting over, all rather daunting, but nevertheless exciting and a new challenge.
Why Mojacar?
My Auntie and Uncle found Mojacar by accident in 1996. They bought a villa, renovated it and invited all the family over from England for the Christmas break in 1997. We all fell in love with the area and one by one our family have come over here to live, starting with me in August 2001.
I started working with Mojacar Estates in October 2001 and although I did not speak any Spanish at the time and had no real estate experience, was given the chance to start working with them, for which I will be eternally grateful and I have been there ever since. I am not sure where the last 15 years have gone but I have certainly enjoyed them and I feel just as happy and positive about this area as I did when I first stepped foot here in 1997. I bought a property in Turre in 2003 and subsequently sold it in 2006.
I have since bought again in Turre with my partner, close to the new ESPADEVIDA project and have lived there for the last 4 years.
My current partner of 10 years is Spanish and is a technical engineer. I speak fluent Spanish and have integrated 100% into the Spanish lifestyle.
I have been running the sales department in Mojacar Estates for many years now and I am very excited to have the opportunity to be part of this new, exciting project, ESPADEVIDA. I am qualified and have the local knowledge, experience and language skills to help unite potential ESPADEVIDA purchasers consider this exciting new concept and look forward to helping you fulfill your dreams here in Spain.
