Sophie was born in Normandy, France. She studied English at Rouen University. As part of her degree, she spent time in North Wales, fell in love with it and still visits as often as she can. That time sealed her decision not to return to live in France. She completed her Master's, part of which took her to Colchester, Essex, where she stayed for the next 26 years, gaining her Teaching Qualification in 2000. Her love for travel has brought her to Budapest and she is looking forward to travelling through Eastern Europe while she lives here. Sophie enjoys cooking, spending time with friends and family and singing. She was part of a major choir in Essex, who recorded albums at the BBC Maida Vale studios in London. Sophie loves animals and has kept chickens, cats and dogs.
