    Hello, thank you for taking the time to read this. Originally from the coast of Essex I moved to London over 12 years ago with my now husband. After achieving my CIPD level 5 in Human Resources Management I began my career as a HR generalist and am now a People Business Partner at a great scale up IT consultancy here in London. Being the type of person I am, I love all things people and really enjoy making connections with others, understanding different points of view and seeing people grow and develop. Away from the world of work, I play rugby got an LGBTQ+ inclusive rugby team in South London, it's a game I have loved playing since I was a teen and now feels amazing that I get to experience it with people of our community.
