Mr Richard Hoare, Eva’s English school teacher at Coundon Court School in Coventry and author, opened up the world of books to Eva – Shakespeare’s plays in particular.

Eva’s love of words extended to her career. She has worked in PR, marketing and fundraising within the private and voluntary sectors. For ten years Eva worked in academia at the University of Oxford and is now freelance.

In her spare time Eva is a volunteer on the ChipLitFest sponsorship committee, a member of a book club, and can be found in galleries up and down the country – art is her other great love!

For ten years, Eva worked in academia at the University of Oxford and is now with Armonico Consort, a critically acclaimed UK choir and instrumental ensemble renowned for its inspiring concerts and imaginative singing education programme.
