Be willing to have the tough conversations – I think women sometimes have a difficult time asking for they want, but if you’re willing to have the conversation, you’ll be surprised by how willing people are to help you achieve your goals.

Passionate people! I love working with people who care about what they’re working on because it  translates to such high energy and focus, which spills over onto everyone involved and elevates the quality of work.

Top tip for success?

Get stuck in and ask lots of questions – it’s the best way to learn.

What inspires you?

The people I work with. Being surrounded by a fantastic team makes all the difference. I’ve been lucky to have amazing line managers who have invested their time in my development and they make me work harder and better.
