It was a dream project... developing a Vision of Sustainability for the Football League Trust, in partnership with Business in the Community and the Environment Agency. This was a great job where I got to work with football clubs from up and down the country and through which my work ultimately informed on the UK 2012 World Cup bid. Huge thanks to Gudrun Cartwright for her support here. A truly inspiring person to work with.
  • National Union Of Students (Uk)
    Carbon Analyst
    National Union Of Students (Uk) Oct 2009 - May 2010
    This was a fantastic experience I had compiling carbon footprint assessments for businesses across Greater Manchester, and submitting recommendation reports to them based on on-site visits. I did such a good job I was hired for the role of checking the work of the rest of the team and eventually was invited to work at NUS HQ to do some data analysis. That particular job was supposed to take two weeks... However, I was able to get everything done in just under one day via the Microsoft Excel skills I had learned in my previous career in pensions administration.
  • Groundwork Cheshire Trust
    Carbon Auditor And Csr Officer
    Groundwork Cheshire Trust Jun 2009 - Jul 2009
    After leaving the world of pensions administration, I had a couple of months until my masters degree was to start. Luckily I had been an eager beaver and had emailed anyone who would (or wouldn't) listen to say I was interested in an internship experience in the world of environmental management. The awesome Adam Hebden was kind enough to give me a chance and I was soon working in my first position in environmental management: performing carbon accounting; going on site visits; writing sustainability policies and reports and making recommendations on how emissions could be reduced. I learned a lot in this role and it is the reason why I still look to support those entering the jobs market in any way I can.

Eventually, I was nominated for company administrator of the year and would regularly report to the company's Senior Management Team in London.

    Mercer Human Resource Consulting Jun 2005 - Nov 2006
