About Me
It’s fair to say that sport is an integral part of my life. Born and raised in London, I have grown up playing rugby (drastically breaking my body in the process…) constantly try to emulate the excellence of my football idol Freddie Ljungberg during 5-a-side football matches, and elegantly hack my way around the golf course. When I’m not playing sport, I experience the rollercoaster of emotions that come with being a long-suffering but loyal Arsenal fan.
After working for 4 years in the property industry, I finally decided to pursue my dream of working in sport and undertook a Sport Marketing Masters at Loughborough University London, graduating in February 2024. Following my masters, I immediately packed my bags and headed down under to one of the sporting capitals of the world, Melbourne, to kick off my career in sport.
And that brings me to today! Where I have the privilege to work as an Account Manager at Gemba and get to combine my passion for sports with my professional skills. I’m excited about the opportunities ahead and can’t wait to see where my journey at Gemba takes me.
