“Sarah is an incredible sales representative and a pleasure to work with. She is keen to try new things in outreach and is never scared of picking up the phone to set a meeting. Her communication skills are top notch and they show in her dealings with prospective clients and our internal team. Having Sarah on the team has been incredible for me as I’ve been able to learn from someone with a very different style from my own and that has led to more success for our team. Sarah is well qualified to be an account executive, marketing leader, or any other position in a go to market organization and I’m sure I will see her advance in her career quite quickly. I would work with Sarah again any time. ”

My experience with the Rotary Club has been fantastic, introducing me to lots of people within my local community and providing opportunities to give back in various ways. Most recently, this has involved taking part in their annual Christmas float, knocking on doors to spread word of the Rotary Club's work and collect donations vital to their cause. -

Poverty Alleviation
For one week, I lived off the same rations as a Syrian Refugee in Jordan as part of the 'Ration Challenge' which was a humbling and eye opening experience. Sharing my experience across social media platforms, I was able to fundraise £339.20 for Concern Worldwide, surpassing my goal of £314 which can provide 2 refugees with food, medicine and education for a year. I plan to do this annually to continue supporting refugees across the world.

I first learnt about this charity whilst studying at Loughborough University as part of the student's union RAG programme and this took me to London in March 2017 to take part in my first street collection. I continued to fundraise for the charity further into my time at University after signing up to the Kilimanjaro expedition.

I first learnt about this charity whilst studying at Loughborough University as part of the student's union RAG programme and this took me to London in March 2017 to take part in my first street collection. I continued to fundraise for the charity further into my time at University after signing up to the Kilimanjaro expedition. Fundraising for over a year in advance to the challenge through various initiatives such as presenting about the cause to my local Rotary Club, receiving a £250 donation, I reached a final grand total of £3,018.49. As part of the Loughborough team, our fundraising went towards a local project in Moshi, Tanzania at an orphanage called 'Amani' which we were fortunate enough to visit and gain an insight into how our fundraising would make a difference. I successfully reached the summit of Kilimanjaro in September 2018 which was also a huge accomplishment personally.

Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award

In order to complete the Bronze Award, I carried out 10 months of volunteering for the Trussell Trust, exceeding the 6 month requirement; 3 months of tennis lessons to keep physical, simultaneously teaching myself a new sport and 3 months of cooking under the assessment of a Food Technology teacher as a means of developing a new skill.
The expedition itself, consisting of 2 days and 1 night, taught me several skills such as map reading, leadership and independent thinking.

The expedition itself, consisting of 2 days and 1 night, taught me several skills such as map reading, leadership and independent thinking. Particularly, whilst being pushed out of my comfort zone, the ability to work effectively as a team without the help of technology became an important skill I used throughout the trek.
