Summary

I've been very lucky to work in a diverse range of roles which have led me to where I am now. The skills I developed in my studies and in my previous employment with Mecca and Edge Fit played a large part in shaping me into the highly organised, detail-oriented and customer-centric person that I now am.


These skills allowed me to pursue a career in editing as an Associate Recipe Editor with HelloFresh, where I perform a variety of editorial tasks while sticking to tight deadlines and liaising across multiple different teams. I am excited to explore more opportunities in this field, with the aim of continuing to expand my skillset and take on new responsibilities.


As a lover of food and travel, I think I would be an excellent fit for Gourmet Traveller.
