Tell us about your role 

I started at Conscious as a Client Services Executive but transitioned to the Tech team after graduating as a Software Engineer. I work with all the things that people don’t realise exist – I tell computers to do the stuff we all want them to do.

What’s your favourite Conscious value and why?

My favourite value is empowering. My life was literally transformed by how empowering Conscious are. When I was on furlough during the pandemic, I was given a generous training budget and encouraged to take some web skills courses (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) to help me grow in my role. After starting these courses I knew I wanted to get more formal training in this area and decided to go to university to get a degree in software engineering, which Conscious supported me in pursuing by moulding my role around me to give me the flexibility I needed to take on a full-time degree course.

Tell us about your life outside of Conscious 

I am a Christian, so I love to spend my time reading my bible and understanding more about who God is and how the world works. I love hanging out with family & friends, eating great food and sitting in the sun - in any order but preferably all at the same time! I didn’t always support the legal industry in the way I do presently, in my former life I helped fund it through legal aid as a convicted criminal, but that’s another story for another day (you can see a snippet of my story here).
