Debra Purdy

Based on the West Sussex Hampshire borders, Debra started working in the travel industry (many years ago!) as a holiday rep, cabin crew and bartender on cruise ships. This then progressed to HR and management development and latterly as a project manager for the NHS. During the pandemic Debra also trained as a covid vaccinator and a Mental Health First Aid Instructor. Hobbies include anything to do with travel, water (sailing, scuba diving, paddle boarding, kayaking, bodyboarding, outdoor swimming - all year round!), yoga, pilates, live music, theatre, opera, ballet and skiing. She is also learning to play the piano and tap dance (ear plugs would be useful if in the vicinity!) and brush up her Spanish. Favorite destinations are the Galapagos, Antarctica, Masai Mara and Holywell Bay Cornwall.
