A day in the life of Niamh Pearce
BACKGROUND
I was born in Ireland. In 1995 I went travelling where I met my husband in Australia. On my return I went to university in Cambridge and graduated as dispensing optician in 2000! I decided to go travelling again in 2001 to South Africa, including the Galapagos and Easter Island then South Pacific and on to Australia and New Zealand where I worked as a dispensing optician. In 2002 I returned to the UK and to Nottingham where I worked with Lesley. In 2009 I had twin girls who keep me extremely busy! In 2012 I helped Lesley set up her practice in Radcliffe. I still really enjoy working there.
