Describe a typical day in your life
I wake up, get ready for work and then drive ten minutes to the office to arrive by 8:30 am. I always eat breakfast at my desk as its a good chance to go through emails and work out my daily priorities.
Because I work with lots of international companies and colleagues, I always have new tasks waiting for me in my inbox when I arrive at work.
Throughout the day I work on different aspects of my advertising campaign such as writing and developing content, approving new creative and seeking approvals.
I make sure I go for a walk outside at lunchtime as sitting at a desk all day can get a bit tiring.
At about 4:30 – 5:00 pm I jump in my car and drive home. I take my dog for a walk and then fit in some extra exercise like weights or cardio. When my husband gets home we prep and cook dinner together and then relax for the night.
What’s the best thing about what you do?
The range of work I am exposed to, getting to work on creative projects and having a chance to test new ways of advertising.
What would you change if you could?
Have less reliance on external companies because they don’t always understand our needs.
What did you want to do for a living when you were at school?
I wanted to be a fashion stylist.

What advice would you give yourself at 18 if you could
Go for it.
What’s your favourite thing to do in your spare time?
Read, exercise and walk my dog, do crossword puzzles and go clothes shopping!

I’m reading a book about post-pregnancy called ‘the first six weeks‘.
