I got into the travel industry straight from school, before eventually starting my career in business travel just over 15 years ago. I then joined Fred. Olsen initially in 2015 as Assistant Manager, moving eventually into the Operations Manager role throughout my time there. I moved on in 2018 to further my career with another company, however this unfortunately came to an end during COVID-19. I then started a new path within the construction industry before leaving to have my son at the end of 2021. During my maternity leave, the travel industry started to re-build itself again, and that’s when I was able to re-join the Fred Olsen Business Travel family as a part time consultant in the latter part of 2022. I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to take on the Assistant Manager role again, which is my current position within the team.

Favourite Destination – I’ve been fortunate enough to see and do a lot of travelling prior to having my son! My favourite place for adventure is the USA. I have driven coast to coast whilst taking in a lot of scenery, meeting a lot of interesting people and tasting lots of nice food on the way! A couple of my stops were Memphis, Sedona and Vegas. My favourite place for sunshine and chilling is Barbados. I love the relaxed vibe it gives you, but also that you can find somewhere to go to eat good food and listen to music should you feel like it!
