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

I think the most interesting thing I’ve worked on so far is the stock offer – working to try and reach a target as part of a massive team was really rewarding for me.

What inspired me into digital and tech...

The 21st century world is all about digital and tech - we've all got to move with the times. I think it's important to be clued up on the digital world to succeed in today's day and age.

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

It's the future. Don't be put off or think it's a male lead world anymore - it isn't. Many companies are investing in us as females and how powerful we can be. It's the best thing I've ever done coming into a digital career as it's given me so many new skills which are applicable both in work and home life.
