My best treatmentI was recently asked to provide a ‘low-key, more personal than business’ profile for a new client’s newsletter. This is what I came up with. I thought I would share as you may not know these things about me.

Emma is a self-made start-up success! Having moved to central Portugal with various beasts of the 2 & 4 legged variety 10 years ago, she set up Red Box Virtual Office as a means to make ends meet. Her background is in office management and administration, working for various NGOs and government Quangos in London, before ditching the public sector for less lucrative work for SMEs.

Location?
Condeixa, Portugal. A village born out of the ruins of a Roman settlement.

Things you Probably Didn’t Know About Me:

  • I used to be a Jilleroo in the Northern Territory
  • My favourite smell is sun dried laundry
  • I live in central Portugal without cable TV
  • I am learning to clicker train a horse
  • My highest scrabble score is 238
  • I love Portuguese migas
  • My dog is named after a Monty Python character

What I’m listening to?
Anything on Spotify.

What I’m watching?
Nothing. See ’3′ above
While the summer is here, we’ve turned off the cable. It’s nearly as liberating as leaving the phone off the hook.

What I’m reading?
George Sand’s ‘My Life’, Michael Ondaatje’s ‘The English Patient’, Karen Pryor’s ‘Reaching the Animal Mind’
I’m never without a book. The amount of time I spend in front of the computer scares me, so I try to get up, walk away and use a book to expand my mind.
