Some Random Facts About Me

First things first – just in case you found this particular page before any of the others – my name is pronounced ‘Eileen’ (like the song) but spelled ‘Aileen‘.  I guess that could be fact number 1 if you like.

  • I study Marketing (and Finance) at the University of Strathclyde
  • I have three passports/nationalities
  • I like fencing, films, photography, reading, baking, interior design (ok, planning my room in 100s of different ways), writing, interesting and clever ads, getting mail…
  • My favourite colour is red
