Whilst Deborah felt strongly that her years in the religious life were a ‘meant to be experience’ and a preparation for what life had in store, she took the brave step of leaving the convent in 1994. Keen to live a meaningful and fulfilling life but without the habit, Deborah worked in Charitable Fundraising, PR and Freelance Broadcasting, working at home and abroad for a number of charities implementing ambitious, high profile voluntary income plans, PR and Marketing campaigns.
After a number of successful years in Communications and Fundraising having raised millions for various charities, in 2004 Deborah decided to dedicate her time exclusively to broadcasting, writing and speaking.
Deborah’s interest in property began as something of a hobby and she has in her ‘spare time’ developed and renovated a number of houses and has a particular passion for period property especially of the Victorian and Edwardian era. To give her greater insight and experience when writing for property programmes, Deborah has worked as an estate agent and valuer.
Deborah lives in and loves the Derbyshire High Peak, is married to Stuart, has two children, Bella and Joey and one mad Cocker Spaniel called Daisy!
