I have been in the Experience Design role that has given me hands-on experience in fast-paced programme delivery environments. I have been able to adapt to leading on multiple projects at once and I am able to switch focus between different projects as priorities change.
I have a passion for inclusivity and have spent the last year supporting the corporate consumer area as an ally ambassador. I host regular catch ups with multiple teams in corporate, where I provide details of events in the D&I calendar and lead open discussions around the topics.
