What did you want to be when you were 8 years old? I had to check an old journal for this but I wanted to be a Fashion Designer. Not sure where that interest came from but I wrote it down so it must have been important!

Favourite way to relax: I love baking and reading. I’ve read 60 books so far this year with my most recent being a historical fiction called The Wolf Den.

Favourite place to eat in Jersey: I would have to say Corbiere Phare. I have always lived in the West and have fond memories of walking down when I was young and spending a whole snow day there while they gave out snacks.

Favourite possession: Probably my kindle – it’s the only way I read my books.

What made you choose to work for Saltgate?

In my first year of university, I was looking for internships over the summer and Saltgate was one of the only companies who offered their Summer Programme through covid and I was able to gain some experience working remotely in the Client Due Diligence (CDD) Team. Despite the limitations of working remotely, the Saltgate team were great at making me feel welcome and included and it ended up being a really great experience.

I continued working with Saltgate during the holidays. In my third year, as part of my studies, I was lucky enough to do a year abroad where I had the chance to work in Saltgate’s Luxembourg office before studying in Italy.

After graduating, there was no question about returning to Saltgate. My experiences with them had been positive and they had given me so many opportunities previously.

What professional training have you done? I haven’t started any yet as I only graduated recently. However, I would be interested in CGI (ICSA) qualifications one day.

What do you do on an average day? Some days can be routine, liaising with clients, managing payments and attending meetings but the team can receive a wide variety of requests and I have assisted with longer-term projects where I can understand processes in more detail.

What is your next step? I would like to progress in my role and continue to develop my skills and knowledge by pursuing a professional qualification. It would be great to travel between offices again as I did during my time in Luxembourg.

What advice would you give yourself as a graduate considering the experience you have now? Don’t be afraid to get involved with everything and make the most of your team. At Saltgate, there is a really collaborative atmosphere and, no matter someone’s seniority, they are always happy to help.
