I'm the sort of person that says "go for it" and "what's the worst that can happen?" I struggled for years not being able to get my foot in the (creative) door. I wound up managing a kitchen for a large pub chain - which is an absolutely fine career, but it simply wasn't for me. I started to apply to every role and opportunity that could offer me some experience to add to my CV - this included assisting photographers hang their work for upcoming exhibitions and photographing charity events for PR assets - all in my spare time. All of this rather random experience allowed me to start understanding which avenues I'd like to explore for my career. That career ended up beginning at TUI and i've never looked back.

What do you like about your job and the company?
The Content Strategy team is still a fairly new team and I have thoroughly enjoyed developing our framework, process and prioritisation model. We are continually evolving which makes every passing week interesting. We demonstrate our worth by not only supporting the Content Team but the wider business as well. This means I liaise with people around the business and learn how other teams work which a great benefit in such a large business. From Weddings to Sustainability, the projects I work on vary which also makes this role very interesting. I also love working for TUI - I believe our values and dedication to personal development really make for a great place to work.
Greatest achievements
In my personal life, I was so thrilled to graduate my Master's degree with a distinction. It was the result of hard work and dedication so it felt great to know my sacrifices had paid off! For me, the reality of going in to further education meant 2 jobs, hours of commuting, and not one day off for 52 weeks (excluding Christmas Day). So when I received my result, I was extremely proud. In my work life, I'm very proud of my team - we have come so far in the first year of existing and I look forward to how we continue to develop. I am also proud of my award-winning wider Content Team.

Head of Quality
Top Insider Advice
As Quality Assurance, we always work with that concept in mind: design, test, feedback. Don't stop any of these 3 things... ever. You can try everything; you can test and arrive to a result. If you manage to understand the potential to improve based on the result, you are in the right position to improve the quality. This will mean you have in mind the entire flow and things to improve. Don't stop yourself!

Always try to do what you enjoy the most, and have fun while doing it. Be true to your principles and values, and always stay true to yourselves. Don't be afraid to try, and above all, don't be afraid to make mistakes. Always be genuine, and try to evaluate situations from various perspectives. Our reality and preferences may not always be the best for the company and the team, and we shouldn't let that discourage us or make us give up.
