1994I completed my GCSE’S and joined Tesco’s as a part time colleague on the deli counter. I worked here until 2017 in various roles, ranging from customer assistant to a senior leadership role.

2018From here, I branched out to work for myself as a HR Advisor, helping small business set up their HR policies and processes.
2020I Joined Lincolnshire Co-op as a People Advisor, providing generalist advice and support and working closely with colleagues from our food and Gadsby’s trading areas.
