What has been your career path so far?

Like many my journey began in hospitality on the operations side working across London, but primarily in the West End and the City. Through doing that I began to dip my toe in the HR realm and never looked back. I’ve done lots of in house roles, before spending some time as a consultant, which was very challenging but meant I got great exposure to lots of industries and business models. But being in house and part of a team, seeing the changes you can make take effect was something I knew I was missing, and so when the opportunity to join SV came along I couldn’t turn it down, and I haven’t regretted it for a second.

What do you enjoy about the charity sector?

It’s really rewarding to know that we are part of a team that contributes to the charity sector as a whole. The firm  attracts people of a similar mindset and I think that makes SV a more pleasant and special place to work. When you have long days knowing that you are contributing to supporting the sector in the way SV does is a great comfort, and makes it feel worth it. It makes it easier to support colleagues who share the values you do.

Best part of the job?

I have always loved being part of a team and we have a great one here. I’ve found all of my colleagues in the Operations team to be smart and dedicated to the SV mission, but they do it all with humour and empathy. I’m also fortunate to work really closely with our audit managers and I’m always impressed by their dedication to their clients and how they care about their teams. So getting to work closely with such a great bunch of people all pulling in the same direction makes it all worth it. It’s the best job I’ve ever had.
