My first role was within the travel industry working at the Thomas Cook head office in my hometown of Bradford.

What do you love about working at Mansfield Innovation Centre?

I love working with my team. I love working closely with all the different customers and businesses, watching them grow and flourish throughout their time with us.

My biggest achievement would be working through the ranks: from starting as a CEA in July 2015, to being promoted to Assistant Centre Manager in March 2017, and then finally being promoted to Centre Manager in August 2019. The rest is history.

What do you like to do outside of work?

I have a daughter and love going on adventures with her. I love to visit new places and exploring.

Interesting fact about you that most people won’t know about?

When I was younger I went to stage school with Jack P Shepherd from Coronation Street (David Platt).
