Marketing Manager.
No day is the same really as cliché as that sounds! I could be uploading blog posts to the website, writing the newsletter, analysing data from Google Analytics, helping with the strategy for our advertising and SEO, helping create paid ads and more.
The vast variety of tasks that I get to be involved in. In marketing nothing stays the same and it's all a learning curve, so I love to continously learn new ways of doing things.
I absolutely love food! I love baking and cooking at home but I also love going out for dinner. I'm always on the look out for new recipes and cuisines to try!
I'm initially quite a quiet person but once someone gets to know me I'm very talkative - my sister and boyfriend can vouch for that!
This is really difficult... can I have two? Either rump steak with skinny fries, blue cheese sauce and buttered veg or fully loaded nachos with guacamole, sour cream, corn, lime, cheese and chorizo - can you tell I love food?!
My kindle, my boyfriend and a BBQ (don't tell Vicky I stole her idea!).
