What's the best thing about working at Carter Burnett? 
It really helps to work alongside people that genuinely want the best and are prepared to put in the effort to achieve it. We also get genuinely great professional support. Our company culture is excellent and it allows me to have a great work/life balance, which means I can pursue a career without having to compromise my role as a Mum. 
 
What are your main interests or hobbies? 
I live with my Fiancé Chris, our daughter Olivia and two cocker spaniels – Bear and Bella – so life is always pretty busy. We always seem to carrying out a home renovation project and have lived without doors and windows at times. 
 
How would you describe yourself in 5 words? 
Personable, methodical, loyal, diligent and empathetic. 
 
What’s your favourite food? 
If I had to pick just one it would be pizza – and pineapple definitely does belong there! 
 
Which smartphone App could you not live without? 
My most used app is 1 Second Everyday. You take a small snapshot of each day and build up a compilation of memories over time. 
 
If you could go back in time, what advice would you give your younger self? 
Sleep while you can because it’s a lot harder with two dogs and a child.
