Quick Fire: 

My last meal on earth: Pie, mash and gravy!

The album I’d take to a desert island: Motown Greatest Hits.

The movie I could have on repeat: Dirty Dancing.

On my bucket list: Lots, but to name a few: Tour Scotland in a campervan, visit Iceland, and make my own gin.

At OGL, I’m responsible for…

All New Business marketing for the Software division. Anything from events to email marketing to securing quality leads for the Sales team.

The thing I’m most proud of in my job is.… 

Doing a presentation to the Sales team after my first month at OGL. 

People may not know that in my role…

I get to be creative with merchandise/activities for events.

Before OGL I…

Have always worked in the IT and Cyber industry from the start of my Marketing career after graduating from De Montfort University in Leicester.

What I like most about working at OGL is…

Working within a bigger Marketing team. Everyone is great; I feel like I’ve been here much longer than I have.

The best career advice I’ve been given…

Always go with the choice that scares you most, because that is the one that’s going to help you grow.

When I was growing up, I wanted to be…

A popstar, obviously!

Away from the office you’ll find me…

Finding new independent restaurants and bars to visit, renovating my first home, and creating content for my "ginstagram".
