When did you join iHASCO?
I joined the iHasco team on 11 November 2024, and it has been an incredible ride ever since.
What do you do there?
I am the Sales Coach and I work closely with our incredible sales team. I help define and refine their skill set, giving them the confidence to be the best they can be in the workplace.
What did you want to do when you were at school?
A Cave Diver and Explorer for National Geographic! From a very young age I loved all things water and adventure related and wanted to combine the two into a career. Although today, my career has taken another path, diving and exploration remains a huge part of my life.
What do you get up to when you’re not at iHASCO?
When I am not at iHasco, I spend most of my time ensuring my two pugs live their best life! I will very rarely go anywhere that is not pet friendly, but if I do, I am always in a rush to get back home to my pugs.
Where in the world would you most like to go?
I would love to go to Egypt and dive The Blue Hole – Its certainly a place high on my bucket list!
What’s your favourite food?
I absolutely love pesto pasta with crispy onion generously scattered on top. It has secured a permanent spot on my weekly meal planner.
Tell us something we don’t know about you…
I used to have a lisp. After struggling to pronounce certain letters, I spent countless hours in front of the mirror practising to pronounce words clearly and more precisely so I could feel more confident in my school orals. Without any speech therapy, I overcame my lisp and developed a keen interest in the way in which language is spoken and the origin of words.
Favourite book or movie?
My all-time favourite book is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It is such an easy, yet powerful read and is often my go to gift for friends and family who do not have a copy … yet.
