What would your ideal job be?
Something that’s a bit different every day, where I can connect with skilled people in different sectors or industries, and influence outcomes.
What is your happiest memory?
It’s hard to pick just one! I think any of the times I’ve laughed so hard that I cried. Luckily, there has been plenty of those moments!
Who are you a big fan of?
Team members that I’ve worked with in the past – I've been lucky enough to work with some really inspiring people with generous spirits.

What do you like to do in your spare time?
Cryptic crosswords, knitting, and I like to blend my own essential oils to make natural cleaning and beauty products

I don’t believe in guilty pleasures. Either do something (and don’t make yourself feel bad about it) or don’t.
Do you have any other skills or talents others don’t really know about?
I’m really good at managing a group order at a restaurant! Which can actually be a very handy skill.

Dog walks (my own and for paying clients), do some errands, work on my house renovation, watch a TV show/do a puzzle/play PlayStation, spend time with my boyfriend or a friend.
