I decided very early on against going to a regular university and decided instead to study at the University of Life. Having gone to secretarial school (same one as Princess Diana and because my mum made me!), I have managed to find myself various roles in numerous industries.

As a PA, my role is to primarily ensure that my Partners (and project teams) are supported with all administrative assistance so that they can focus all their efforts in finding the right answer for our clients. As a Senior PA, my role is to ensure that my team are happy, that they are challenged, their development needs are met and most importantly, they feel well supported in their role.
I enjoy the constant challenge of beating / meeting a deadline, working with colleagues and building relationships with clients in order to get a good job done. With projects generally lasting 3 – 8 weeks, there is plenty of variety in the role and also an opportunity to learn and grow.

I’ve learnt that sometimes it’s not just the challenge of the job where you reap your rewards, it is the people that you do it with where the real riches are won. The expression ‘work hard, play hard’ must’ve been coined by an OC&C’er.
