“I think working in a predominately male field definitely pushes me out of my comfort zone and it really encourages you to find your own voice. My first week was really positive, it was made sure that I was completely comfortable and getting settled in, everyone is really accommodating of any questions I had as I was going along.”

I have always been encouraged and supported to enhance my professional development at RPS and have worked hard to grow from a junior role to now leading the Programme Team, where we provide a high level of support to each project’s life cycle and data solutions by creating innovation tools to help assist all teams in planning, resourcing, and reporting."
