Passionate about driving growth and fostering relationships, I am currently a Business Development Executive at MIDAS, where I apply my analytical and interpersonal skills to help businesses achieve their goals. With a degree in International Development and Economics from the University of East Anglia, I have a solid foundation in understanding global economic trends and the nuances of international markets.During my time at university, I balanced academics with my love for rugby, playing semi-professionally for North Walsham Rugby Club and representing the University of East Anglia at the National League level. My dedication to the sport earned me Half Colours, a testament to my commitment and performance on the field. Additionally, as the Social Secretary for the UEA Rugby Club from 2022-2023, I honed my organizational and leadership skills, coordinating events that fostered team spirit and camaraderie.I have a diverse professional background, from working as a Customer Assistant at Booths to being a COVID-19 Testing Operative in 2021, where I developed a strong work ethic and attention to detail. My role as a part-time rugby coach for North Walsham Rugby Club's School Program has allowed me to give back to the community, mentoring young athletes and sharing my passion for the game.Graduating in 2024, I am eager to leverage my experiences and education in the business development space, continuing to build meaningful connections and drive success in the competitive market.
