Interests

Pallavi spends most of her time outside work with her young family, making time for swimming and running. As a keen scuba diver, Pallavi spent a year travelling to dive in incredible locations such as Roatan, Belize and the Poor Knights in New Zealand. She now travels to Devon and Cornwall, which she loves – but definitely not for the diving.
