Now is at the grand tour stage of her education - but is more interested in finding out whats going on and what can keep her interested also society work. She has the money and curiousity to follow her whims and decide what to be passionate about. Personality Likes organising and being in control. strongly opinionated on just about everything. Passionate about education and loves learning new things. Too curious for her own good. Easily distracted. But has good people skills and something about her draws people to her. Good at finding out what people do best and encouraging them to utilise those skills and to encorage them to be there best and stretch themselves - it also doesn't hurt when convincing people to do their best furthers her cause of the week.
