The most interesting thing I've worked on in my career so far...

I used to work for a global brand. I worked with a team to create versions of the brand website that could be rolled out around the world. I got to learn about consumers in lots of markets and I even went to Indonesia and Australia to run digital training.

What inspired me into digital and tech...

My first job out of university was at a book publisher. I thought it was my dream job but I didn’t like how slow the book publishing process was. When I moved into digital, I loved how quickly I could make things happen, and how I could see results straightaway.

My educational background is...

I studied English at the University of Salford and a few years later my employer sponsored me to do a CIM Professional Diploma in Marketing. Working in digital, it’s really important to have a continuous learning mindset - I do some work-related reading or join an online talk most weeks.

What advice I'd give to girls thinking about a career in digital and tech...

Digital’s a brilliant industry if you want to be able to see the results of your work quickly. I love that you can set something up in the morning and potentially start seeing results the same day. And if something doesn’t work, you can change it really quickly too!
