Being at work shouldn't be just about work. It should be fun as well (as far as possible). For me, my job at Imperial isn't "just a job". In addition to my role I'm the deputy-chair for Able@Imperial (it's a staff network designed to support disabled staff and staff with disabled dependants) and I was a finance rep on the Support Services Social Committee. The Social Committe has organised a Village Fete (i.e. a party for over 1,000 support staff!) to celebrate Imperial's independence from the University of London. This event has now turned into an annual event and in 2014, as part of the Fete, we organised a Mad Hatter competition. If you would like to see the photos of my hat, please click here:

Since 2014 I have been participating in 5km runs for Race for Life, which I do in my grandmother's memory. Here are a few photos from these events:

I'm a great believer in education (which you can probably tell just by looking at my CV), but in addition to studying for qualifications myself I also helped other Imperial staff by organising lunch-time study groups to help us get through our exams (it was a mixed-ability group to allow those who were doing higher level exams to help those who were just beginning their accountancy studies), mentored trainees, attended a leadership programme (Calibre, as per above), taught finance concepts to non-finance staff during the course of my job, as well as implementing a CPD training programme for all finance staff at Imperial.

Also, in 2014 I finally started to learn British Sign Language (BSL), which I always wanted to learn and now I finally have spare time for. So far, I have thoroughly enjoyed it!

Accountants and paralegals must maintain confidentiality at all times!
