Lyn Morehen
I am privileged to have a unique and diverse professional background. I enjoy the journey. I was trained as a physicist and obtained a Ph.D. from London University. I then joined the corporate world and worked first as a computer programmer and systems analyst and eventually as a senior executive in such diverse areas as the airline industry, gambling mining, chemical manufacturing, retail, insurance and banking. I eventually qualified as a horticulturist in Landscape Design. I have worked in England, South Africa, Zambia and Australia. I run Tallulah Landscapes which specialises in design, high end garden maintenance and horticultural writing.
My work continues to provide interest and enjoyment. I look forward to new challenges and opportunities where I continue to use my skills and abilities.
