About me

Having graduated in a technical and demanding degree before moving into finance-based roles, I took a year’s sabbatical to pursue a career in cycling. Whilst I didn’t become a professional cyclist, I knew that I didn’t want to return to a role where I was unable to be creative or feel engaged. Since returning from my time in France, I have worked for Rapha, an industry leading cycling brand, and developed a reputation as a hard worker and fast learner who remains consistently on brand. I have taken on events and social media roles during my time here and, in so doing, I have been asked to represent the company at some of its biggest global events. With my prior experience as an account manager within Private Banking, I am more than competent at dealing with high profile clients in a professional manner. Moving forward, I am looking for a role where no two days are the same, I am able to problem solve and find solutions for my clients. I believe I have a lot to offer to an exciting and fast paced company.
