What would tell your younger self when finding your first job?: As someone who entered the corporate world post-COVID, I would tell myself (and any junior candidate now) to look beyond ‘job perks’ and focus on finding leaders who invest in your growth. Strong support early on will shape your entire career.
If you could attend any high profile event, what would you choose?: Definitely the Met Gala! I’m obsessed with fashion & pop culture and seeing the hidden parts of my favourite museum would be a dream. Plus, I’d love a moment with Anna Wintour (even if it’s just a nod of approval)!
