Carol has been undertaking public speaking for many years and has a variety of illustrated talks suitable for groups of all sizes.
For over 27 years she was part of the Territorial Army (during the fascinating period when women moved from the Women’s Royal Army Corps into mainstream service, and as the TA moved from primarily home service to operational service overseas. During that period she also worked as a Library Manager giving her a broad range of experience with people and services. On retiring from Libraries she went on to run her own training company.
Carol went to work with children in a Refugee Camp for Burmese Karen in 2005 and they found a place in her heart. Since then she has passionately talked about the history and current situation of the people of Burma (Myanmar). With many pictures of the lovely people she has worked with she can talk for anything from 30 minutes to 2 hours on this, her favourite subject! All fees for her talks go to the charity she founded in 2010, All4Burma www.all4burma.org.uk
Available to offer talks in East Midlands and South & East Yorkshire and often at short notice.
