I was Director of Communications at the UK Embassy in San Jose, Costa Rica between 2004 and 2013. In this position I did political reporting for the British Foreign Office ( FCO) on both Costa Rica and Nicaragua. I organized numerous development programs in both countries and received a variety of awards for my work including a UK Foreign Secretary award for innovation, an award from the Costa Rica Tourist Police and an award from the BICU university in Bluefields, Nicaragua. I founded the Costa Rica ice hockey program in 1996 and managed the program until 2018.
