Winning the Olympic Gold is probably the highest thing to achieve on the totem pole of achievements but I try to not see it as 'career highs' as such. As every medal has its own story. It’s nice to have a career which is like an adventure where, you just have a real combination and mix of different things that have happened, be it good or bad.

One of my career highlights has been spearheading the development and execution of Ancestry’s 2021 Remembrance campaign, which centered around ensuring that no legacy was left behind. This is because it links to my fondness of the endless discoveries with history and how it can positively impact people’s lives.

Keep an eye out on how brands market themselves to you whilst you are at university and take note of what has the biggest impact on you. A wide range of degrees lend themselves to marketing, if you can research, creatively persuade, and measure.

One thing that motivates me is to remind myself that I am only at the beginning of my career and I still have so much more to learn and that naturally, I will make a lot of mistakes along the way - but, mistakes mean growth!

We need to encourage everyone to follow fields that they love and especially encourage those whose dreams and desires are impeded by stereotypes. Regarding women in STEM, multiple studies have shown that diversity benefits research and innovation.

It was incredible to see how the work I had built for a household name was being used. This was my mark on a major global brand. I am very proud of having had that impact on something that is much bigger than me...
