I fell into this industry after working in retail and hospitality for numerous years. I really enjoy helping people and achieving the best possible outcome for each individual.
What do you enjoy most about working at Parker Barras, and what sets the company apart from other firms in the industry?
I enjoy working at Parker Barras as it has a friendly environment with a wide diversity of skills, enabling us to all help and support each other. I think what sets the company aside is the unique building, the vast advertising and marketing and the modern proactive approach.

Outside work, I spend time with my children, family and friends, whether going out for day trips, meals, retail therapy, or crafty bits. I balance my personal and professional life by having cut-off points and personal rules.
