2. What's the best advice you'd give to your younger self who's just started their career?

Treat others the way you want to be treated.

Don’t turn down opportunities.

Growth only comes with discomfort.

3. What do you look for when hiring young people?

Balance of confidence and humility, attitude is one that Learning is a life journey, will give anything a go.

Personalisation / fit for role

Collaboration / teamwork

6. Do you need a degree?

Too many to list. Connect with me and let's talk.

8. Have your reasons for joining the industry changed over time?

Nope

9. Have you ever failed? How did you react?

Oh yeah. Initially - everyone else was wrong. Very quickly - what did I do wrong / could have done differently.

10. If you had the chance to re-do your career knowing what you know now, what would you do differently?

Believed in myself more , and not turn down opportunities because I felt i wasn’t ready - if they are offered to me it’s because others feel I am ready.
