Tea Making Ability: Variable depending on the time of day (Let's just say, do not ask me to make you a cup of tea in the evening)
What Mobile Phone do you own? X – I like to keep myself up-to date regardless of whether or not I can operate the damn thing, when things get tough I simply resort to my Nokia 6230i.
Glass half empty or full? ¾ of the way full (preferably with something chocolatey)
Fun fact about yourself? I own collections of Happy Meal Toys – My Pokémon collection would definitely be the rarest.
Hobbies/Interests?
Hmm… Well I have been attempting to go to the gym on a daily basis. Other more enjoyable activities include swimming, football, camping/hiking and table tennis. I enjoy DIY and home décor. All things Skin care related (thanks to my troublesome skin as a teenager). I am extremely passionate about helping others by any means possible, Amnesty International, Macmillan and Oxfam's 'Oxjam' are a some of the causes I have supported.
If you were an animal, what animal would you be and why? A Lion. They're just so beautiful. They have an elegant stride yet are fierce when needed to be and for a little extra points, they have great posture!
Previous experience/background?
A history graduate (particularly interested in the Tudor period and religious/social/cultural history), with almost a decade's worth of customer service experience. My most recent job role was that of a cover teacher in secondary education as well as a careers adviser (personal statements/CV's) as I enjoy supporting individuals and watching them excel. Feel free to PM if you need any advice!
Why did you join giffgaff? Other than the quirky office and the extremely loud coffee machine, the intrinsic value placed on the concept of mutuality and respect for others opinions!
Where do you see yourself in two years from now? Working on a project which will aim to increase the number of young people involved in the community!
