Problem Solving
The most interesting thing I've worked on in my career so far...
I'm a problem solver. I love to be pushed outside of my comfort zone and take on big hairy challenges.
What inspired me into digital and tech...
I actually fell into tech. I studied Computer Information Systems at University but didn't enjoy the coding elements of the course and so came out of uni determined that tech wasn't my path. Every subsequent role that I took, used my broader tech skills and after a very short time, I began to realise that 'Tech' is much broader than writing code. I love the flexibility that comes with working in digital and the breadth of work you can get involved in. I also love the pace of work (and change).
My educational background is...
After completing a-levels at Lymm High School, I went on to complete a BSC Hons in Computer information Systems at the University of Liverpool.
What advice I'd give to girls thinking about a career in digital and tech...
Do it! It's a great industry to be in and we're desperately in need of your diverse skills and input
