How long have you been a member of the BJC?

I joined BJC over the summer of 2022 and joined the Council of Management in April 2023. 

Why did you join?

I was encouraged to join BJC through work (Business West) to make connections with like-minded young professionals and be a part of an exciting and diverse network! After being a member since 2022, I have made connections and friendships with members and the Council of Management Team, and I wish I joined sooner!

Outside of work and the BJC what do you like to do with your spare time?

We adopted our dachshund from Dogs Trust in 2023, so we like to take her out on walks to different places. Our favourite walk is the beach! I also take part in gym classes and PT sessions. 

Do you have a favourite event on the BJC calendar?

I would say either Spring Drinks as it kicks off the BJC year or Annual Dinner, both are fantastic events.

What’s the best thing about Bristol?

The range and diversity of events! From shows at Bristol Hippodrome, Harbour Festival, St Paul’s Carnival, Bristol Balloon Fiesta and so much more. There really is something for everyone here!

Tell us an interesting fact about yourself.

I used to do Musical Theatre when I was younger, and starred in productions such as The Jungle Book, Hairspray and Bugsy Malone!
