What do you do on an average day?

A typical day includes staying organised, collaborating with colleagues, and tackling new challenges. I’ll often catch up with the team over lunch, and if there’s something exciting happening in the office or an after-work event, I try to join in!

What advice would you give yourself as a graduate considering the experience you have now?

Don’t worry if you don’t have an A-level in maths—pursue subjects that genuinely interest you instead. You’ll keep learning on the job, which is exciting! It’s also essential to consider what truly works for you and explore your options. Look for a supportive company that aligns with your values, and always stay true to yourself.
