ASSOCIATE'S BACKGROUND

HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE INDUSTRY THAT YOU ARE IN NOW?

Whilst finishing my DPhil at Oxford University where I was awarded the Sir John Rhys Teaching Fellowship, I was offered a position as a broadcast journalist in the BBC Newsroom in Cardiff. 

I have always weaved working in both the media and academia and now enjoy managing a wider range of projects mainly across the education sector as well as hosting a weekly show on BBC Radio Cymru.

WHAT DRIVES YOU?

I am always aware of how much there is yet to learn, and this curiosity drives all my endeavours. I love learning about others and facilitating conversations in order to drive change.

THE PERSON OUTSIDE OF WORK
At Elevate BC we pride ourselves on working to achieve work-life balance for both ourselves as well as our clients, we believe that it's important to understand the person outside of work to really know what motivates them. As part of this we would like you to get to know what drives our Team so we have included a few interesting and fun facts!

SPORTS& EXERCISE (Physical well-being)

Whilst sporting pursuits do not come naturally to me, I know and feel the benefits of movement and practice daily strength training programmes as well as meditation.

CHARITY WORK

Trustee for Cylch Meithrin Llangynnwr
Chair of Llangunnor Eisteddfod yr Urdd 2023 Appeal
Secretary and one of the editors for local newspaper Cwlwm
Columnist for the Welsh language column in the Carmarthen Journal.

WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN?

Time spent with my husband, our two sons and the extended family is deeply cherished. The boys currently enjoy building train tracks and lego towers, and it is always fun to see their daily achievements and how proud they are of their creations! Friendships are of utmost importance to me, and nothing beats a good conversation with friends, be that face to face or over the phone.

WHAT DO YOU TO UNWIND & RELAX?

Music has always played a huge part in my life too, and it’s something I always turn to, no matter what the situation – I am often heard humming or singing along to something!

FAVOURITE BOOK & WHY WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT?

I always have two or three books on the go – usually one in Welsh, one in English and one from the self-development genre. It is too hard to pick a favourite! Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams and Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo currently stand out as ones I would recommend. I also recently enjoyed 10% Happier by the journalist Dan Harris.

FAVOURITE FOOD & WHY ?

An easy question – Welsh Cawl with some lovely warm bread!

FAVOURITE BAND / SINGER ?

This is by far the hardest question! It depends entirely on the mood. I love ABBA, Queen, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Carly Simon, Classical Music of all sorts… and I have fond memories of dancing around with my sister in our bedrooms with our hairbrushes singing along to S Club 7 and the Spice Girls!
