I worked in the hospitality industry, starting at ground level and working my way up to managing cafes, restaurants and bars, both full time, and later part time to support myself while studying.

When I first left school I took a job with this company, which at the time was called AnalySports, and I learned a lot while there about statistics, working to a deadline, and trusting my instincts to make calls about a situation. It involved 'coding' actions of players and the ball throughout the game and it needed a lot of quick thinking and analytical skills, skills which I have been able to transfer over into other areas, even now, many jobs (and years) later.
