This was an incredible company and product, and it was great to be back in a workplace, working in a creative space again. Unfortunately, shortly after starting this position, my partner required major surgery. I became a full time carer which meant I had to leave this amazing company. Once my partner was able to return to work, I was presented with an opportunity to pursue a career down the medical path that aligns with the same values as my work in rescue.
