About Rachel Parrott

I’m currently on maternity leave. I have had a creative business in my spare time making custom or personalised vinyl pieces. I am a creative person at heart and loved working with buyers to create items that are personal and unique to them. I stopped my business due to personal circumstances but still enjoy being creative in my own time, and making things for friends and family when I get the chance. I strive to succeed in everything I do and put my mind to anything, accepting challenges and taking on responsibilities to the best of my ability.I'm currently editing and writing content for Brentwood Borough council, ensuring residents have access to a consistent and accessible website, for their daily transactions.I have earned a diploma in Digital Marketing to enhance my skills already learnt. I have a background in analytics and user insight, a keen interest digital content/marketing, engagement and transformation, targeting campaigns and strategising for how to get the most out of a variety of channels. I have developed training programmes looking at how to upskill residents, service users and staff. I love new challenges and a fast paced environment. Digital and Technology is a big part of life and more and more people are being encouraged to get online. My secondment as Business Support and Delivery officer enabled me to get involved in IT support and transformation, working on large projects such as getting self-service implemented in Enfield Libraries and working on the refurbishment of Palmers Green Library to turn it into a Digital Hub library.I love IT and technology; i'm interested in modern hardware and software. I'm a Mac user but use a PC everyday for work. I love baking, traveling, Scuba Diving, reading, photography and a variety of music.
