With 15 years’ experience, both agency and in-house, I currently work in external affairs for Direct Line Group, a FTSE 100 insurer with brands such as Direct Line, Churchill and Privilege Insurance in its portfolio.

To my younger self I would say…..

“Invest in CPD. Be kind and respectful to everyone. Be curious – is there a better way of doing things? Keep being creative. Pass it on – when you have help from others it might be difficult to pay it back so pay it forward.”
