What do you enjoy about your role at Inclusive Employers?

I think the variety of the work and clients is great, not many jobs offer this. It’s also fantastic to do work that I’m passionate as my job!

What has been your biggest achievement to date?

I was delivering a personal development programme to young people, on the first day – during introductions, one participant, when asked to say their name, cried because they were very nervous. 12 weeks later, at the end of the programme, this very person stood up (in front of a large group of people) and gave a presentation. I felt very proud of this group, they came from a mix of backgrounds (some very vulnerable) but worked hard to create a sense of belonging and inclusion.

What is the best advice you have ever been given?

Be brave, be courageous and go for it… 

Tell us something about you that we might not know.

I love adventure, travel and a challenge. I’ve travelled around the world on my own. I’ve cycled across Europe and climbed to the top of mountains. Through traveling I have learnt a lot about kindness, difference and acceptance.
