I’m crazy about my dogs and my favourite thing to do is take them on long walks exploring local woodlands. I love reading biographies, true crime documentaries/podcasts, science documentaries and anything to do with space! Basically, I just really enjoy learning about the world around me.

This exploration into careers inspired me to get started on my own and I’ve had a varied and interesting one so far! The roles I've had have really helped me understand business’ goals and also users needs. I've built my career around gaining extensive corporate and project experience using lessons learned to inform and refine the processes used to ensure each project and its product is better than the last.

I really enjoy understanding the human experience by reading blogs and listening to podcasts to understand other people’s experiences to better inform my frame of reference; it’s why user research and user interviews are my favourite elements to a project. I find it so interesting understanding other people’s take on a product: their validation of the elements that have been designed to support their goals, but also the perspective they are able to provide to inform elements that may not have been considered.

My career satisfaction comes from providing creative solutions to design problems. This is why I really enjoy working on Agile projects - completing sprints and iterations to learn the things we are doing right, but most importantly learning what we can do better and making those improvements to provide a great product.
