What inspired me into digital and tech...
It was a new career path and I was intrigued. I wanted to learn more but in a different field and I fell in love with the industry. I help people and thrive off watching others flourish with their goals. The more I learnt and achieved, the more I wanted to delve in. 5 years later and I co-own my own agency.

I have my GCSE's, A-Levels and a degree in Philosophy. I started marketing nearly 5 years ago and worked within an agency. Here I self-taught, learnt and attended courses to develop my skills and knowledge.

What's stopping you? It's a whole new world with endless skill building, opportunities and achievements. There are many areas in digital and tech - it's not just data and computers. It's like Alice when she falls down the rabbit hole; magical, mystical and a whirlwind that you want to get swept up in.
