1 year contract position assisting project managing a special project followed by a change within the Tech & Data Directorate assisting the Resource & Planning Manager covering Maternity leave.

I have been lucky enough to find a perfect job (maternity cover) working in this amazing company helping people to work with nature by improving their natural health & wellbeing.

I worked in Leonardo Helicopters as a Project Officer on the AW101 Product Roadmap team within Programmes.

I fulfilled my dream of running my own business & started Abbey Brides in June 2005 as I felt a Bridal Gown shop in Sherborne was much needed. I ran the business single handed until August 2020 when I gave up the retail premises. I not only helped Brides find their dream wedding dress but I was Accounts Manager, Business Development Manager & social media guru. I built my own website from nothing and built solid relationships within the industry that I now consider to be friends. The business allowed me to grow as a Project Manager and taught me valuable experiences that I couldn’t have got from working for an employer.

Senior Engineer within EH101 Programmes working as a Project Co-Ordinator on the EH101 Support Helicopter Programme. I was responsible for collating the Quarterly Progress Review (QPR) to the MOD and had a wide variety of roles during my time. I loved working in my team and we all understood the importance of gaining a broad spectrum of experience. I worked on Finance, Quality Audits, Planning & customer reporting until I left to start up my own business in 2005.
