I can also support with administration support such a working with BreatheHR, updating documents and files.

What do you enjoy most about The HR Booth?

What I have enjoyed most about being at The HR Booth is how close the team is. I have the received the best support from the team. I have also enjoyed learning everything HR, although I am still relatively new to the world of HR, I can see how much I have learnt over the past year from getting involved and working with the team.

If you could visit any country in the world, where would you go and what would you want to experience there?

I would love to visit America, my number one place would be New York. I have always wanted to go especially during the festive period.

If you were stuck on a deserted island, what 3 items would you bring with you?

My 3 items would be my dog as he is the best company, I would also bring my phone and some suncream!

If you could swap jobs with anyone in the office for a day, who would it be, and why?

I would like to swap jobs with Shannon for the day, as I would love to see the ins and outs of all things marketing.
