Guiding principles

Much like the ever-changing digital landscape, I think it’s important to constantly anticipate change, prepare for areas of improvement and ultimately persevere.

How has Covid changed your job?

At first, it was slightly challenging, however over time it allowed me to be more connected in different ways with my team members and has inevitably led to more productivity as we explore new, more efficient ways of working.

Side hustle

I’m working towards my Python qualification.
