Jane said: ‘’I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and just letting it all sink in. Out of over 2000 instructor nominations I was in the top 3! I was sat at a table with my family by my side, and it was just an amazing experience, especially when I was in a room with (such) inspirational people I follow on social media.

‘’Thank you so much to everyone that voted for me and all the kind messages of support and well wishes on the day.

‘’It’s back to work now as I continue to make everybody I work with reach their goals.’’
