About

I work in the built environment sector, as a specialist programme manager at Seven, providing consultancy services for office occupiers looking to transform their office portfolios or HQs. I am also part of the leadership at Seven with day-to-day responsibilities on resourcing, business development, financial performance and driving consistency across all the work Seven does.

Preferences

  • Location: London 
  • Availability: daytime, in person
  • Key stage: KS4 and KS5
  • Themes: cities, environment, environmental management, geopolitics, economics 

Current or most recent role

I'm currently acting as a trusted advisor for a London based law firm with 600 employees who are transforming their HQ building.

Previous experience

I was an ambassador when I was at university. My boss's son actually saw a flyer about the old programme at his school that had my name on!

Why I want to become a professional ambassador

I was one of the original ambassadors when I was at university and then went on to coordinate the programme for the RGS. My career has progressed into a leadership role and a lot of it is down to how I utilise my skills from geography.

Types of activities 

  • Talking about my current job and career pathway
  • Running activities about career sector
  • Inspiring young people to choose geography
  • Talking about my career sector and the opportunities available; talking about what geographical skills I use at work and how geography is used in the 'real world'
