What's the best thing about working at Carter Burnett?
The people. It’s a great team and atmosphere – and everyone is very friendly and approachable. We also have a vast range of knowledge across the team.
What are your main hobbies and interests?
When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and one-year-old son – and taking our dog Hugo for long family walks. I also enjoy yoga, but our current main project is renovating our Georgian house which is a labour of love.

All sorts – from rap to classical and anything in between. It usually depends on my mood!

Friendly, kind, conscientious, sensitive, tall.

People that are rude.
If you could go back in time, what advice would you give your younger self?
Have more self-confidence, don’t doubt myself as much and take more risks.
