About me
I am so lucky to be able to do a variety of things day to day, it is what keeps me creative and motivated in all aspects of my life. For work I walk the tightrope between the creative arts and technology working as a business analyst at the Royal Opera House. Collaborating with the whole organisation from the flys team to the artistic directors it is my job to make their lives easier. I do this by working to understand what each department needs and looking across the organisation to find technical solutions that will make everybody's lives easier so they can get back to what they are good at, creating world leading artistic productions. Last summer I was able to use the extra time at home to be able to work freelance for an incredible start up called 'Vested', working to shake up the impact investment world, and also volunteered closer to home with 'Suited and Booted', digitising their operations to ensure that they can provide as many suits as they can to men looking for work. This year I am throwing myself into studies, doing an introductory course in Social Anthropology at Oxford University and a Writing course at City Lit University.
