It has given me belief & confidence in my abilities

Sitting in my suitcase as I’m in the middle of moving.

Someone who likes to get shit done.

8. How would you describe your colleagues? 

We are a family – we support each other when times are tough and celebrate our wins and successes together.

9. Favourite industry hero? 

I would have to say my old manager – Ellie Rogers. She isn’t afraid to try new things and has always pushed me when I was too afraid.

Not putting my hand up enough and not putting myself out there.

Hopefully somewhere still having heaps of fun and sipping on champagne.

17. The one technology you just don’t understand? 

Snapchat- I just don’t get why you would share something to have it disappear later but I think it’s very possibly a reflection of my (old)age!

I am a massive K- Pop and K-drama fan and watch it most nights.

19. Go-to karaoke song?  

I’m definitely not a karaoke singer but on the very rare occasion I have to say its “How do I live” by Aerosmith

Sometimes!
