Career

I trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in Stage Management for Theatre and TV Production.  When I left theatre school I was a freelance Stage Manager working on various productions from Theatre in Education (touring schools) to International tours and West End productions. 

I had a career change in 2016 when I joined Capita Travel and Events, firstly as a Hotel Consultant and later as a Team Manager.  This has given me the opportunity to build my knowledge and experience in the business travel sector and has fuelled my drive to want to help develop and mentor people.

Whilst at Capita I also trained as a Mental Health First Aider to enable me to support my colleagues and customers. As I’m sure you can imagine this has been used more than ever in 2020!

At the beginning of 2020 I did a 6 month secondment within another area of Capita, managing a remote team of people from all across the UK who were answering the phones for the Universal Credit helpline to help those in need in this difficult year.

This brings me to 2021, I’m delighted to be part of the team opening an exciting new hotel in the role of Reservations Manager!
