What I do
I’m a Marketer that joined Smith Partnership’s Business Development Group in March 2018 as an Assistant. Within the firm I have grown and developed, advancing to Executive. I have a particular focus upon Digital Marketing based projects, working alongside our six offices based across the East Midlands.
In December 2022 I completed my Level 6 Marketing Managers Apprenticeship, equivalent to a Bachelor's Degree, with a Distinction. After three years of studying hard, this is something that I am very proud of.

Key interests
During my spare time, I am a dance teacher at a local dance school based in Darley Abbey, teaching during the evenings and weekends, as an Associate of the International Dance Teachers Association (AIDTA). I have taught dance since the age of 16, focusing on the traditional disciplines of ballet and tap. Ballet has always been my favourite.
