I love a lot of things about my job. I especially like being the first person to see the numbers come through for my markets, that’s always really exciting, knowing that you have access to privileged information that no-one else has seen yet.

I love coming to work every day and working on things that are challenging and exciting. Working in public law means that the work you do matters, and I am so glad that I get to serve the public interest.

Knowing that I’m literally working towards (albeit in very small steps) making the world a better place, and working alongside like-minded colleagues makes for a rewarding job.

The best thing about my job is the relationships I get to grow – with colleagues, stakeholders, and with places. I have learned so much from spending time with people, visiting new Country and hearing stories.
