1. Why did you join Barden?
I was really drawn to the passion with which Ed and Elaine talked about Barden and its people!
2. What’s the most valuable lesson you have learned in your career and how has it impacted your work?
Being a part of an organisation that values your work and being surrounded by people who make a difference in your day-to-day is what really matters.
3. What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone considering a career change?
I believe that everything happens for a reason. Don’t be afraid to take risks, life is too short to work at something that doesn’t add value to your life.
4. Can you describe a project or accomplishment at Barden that you’re particularly proud of?
I’m particularly proud of developing and executing our Talent Monitors. By conducting in-depth, niche talent searches throughout the year, we have successfully identified and engaged top talent for various practice teams.
5. What aspect of your work at Barden excites you the most?
It’s definitely the people! I work with amazing colleagues who are always ready to lend a hand and have a laugh together.
6. What’s a hobby/ interest you have that might surprise us?
Sewing! After doing my undergrad in Fashion Design, I realised that fashion was more of a hobby than a career path, so sewing became a huge passion of mine.
7. If you could master a new skill instantly, what would it be and why?
Master new languages! I’m passionate about different cultures and learning new languages but I don’t have the time to learn all the languages that I am interested in. I think that the best way to fully understand someone else’s culture is to be able to communicate in their language.
8. If you could swap jobs with anyone for a day, who would it be and what would you do?
Kiersten Rich (The Blonde Abroad). Kiersten is a travel blogger that I have followed for the past 7 years. She focuses on sharing travel content that inspires solo female travellers who are passionate about learning about different cultures and countries (like me!) in a fun and adventurous way.
9. What’s one thing you’d like to accomplish, personally or professionally, in the next year?
I aim to achieve my PMP Project Management certification. This is a significant professional goal that will require dedication and hard work. I’m excited to embark on this journey and grateful for Barden’s backing & support. By acquiring the PMP, I’ll expand my skill set and hope to contribute even more effectively to Barden’s success.
10. What’s the best piece of advice you have ever received?
Be kind, the world needs kinder people.
