It’s a bit of a late one from me because I’m on the train home after spending the day in London for a work event.…. What a day ✨💃🏼🎉❤️ Great weather, lovely people, loads of exciting conversations… and then they completely caught me off guard.…….. They’ve asked me to relocate to Barcelona in January 2027 to lead the community in the new office they’re opening out there. 🤯🇪🇸 I wasn’t expecting that conversation!!!!!! There’s obviously loads to think about. Finn will be in his final year of A Levels, so he comes first. I’m already trying to work out how I could make it work by travelling backwards and forwards until he’s finished because I don’t want to disrupt such an important year for him.….. It’s just mad to think where I was a few months ago.….. Now I’ve got Paris next week, I’m organising a Remobi - Women in Tech event in Germany later this year, travelling around meeting incredible people, helping grow communities across Europe… and now I’m being asked if I’d relocate to Barcelona.… what is my life?! 🤣….. there’s never a dull moment that’s for sure!!! I’m excited, a little bit terrified, and very very qvery grateful….. Sometimes life really does throw opportunities at you when you least expect them. Anyway… I’m absolutely shattered, so I’m going to get home, give Finn & Blacky-Chan a cuddle and let all of this sink in. ❤️…….i hope you’ve all had a lovely week xxx

A few weeks ago, when I joined the Women in Power network, I shared that one of my goals was to step back into FinTech and continue growing my career towards Head of Engineering. The encouragement, advice, and confidence from this community gave me the push I needed to stop waiting for the “perfect time” and start taking action. I’ve now taken that first step and started exploring leadership opportunities in FinTech. Whether this particular opportunity works out or not, I’m glad I’ve moved from thinking about it to doing something about it. Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to back myself. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the interview, it’s having the confidence to put yourself forward in the first place. Here’s to taking the first step. 🚀

Hey you lovely lot……My whine this week is I ended up back in hospital with my stomach from Sunday through to Tuesday. The whole time I was there they couldn’t get me a bed, so it was a bit of a nightmare!!! Thankfully I was well enough to come home on Tuesday morning, I’ve had a proper sleep & I’m feeling much more like myself now ✨💃🏼 Now for the wins…Tomorrow I’m off to London for the day! 💃🏼 get there about 12 go straight for lunch with my managers & then to a company-wide event at a hotel… so technically it’s a work day, but not really any work…. I’ll take that! 😂 And of course… the countdown to RAISE is on! I can’t wait….I’m sooooo excited to catch up with everyone who’s going, see everything our gorgeous @Sian Kelly Guy has worked so hard on, and I’m super for the after-party too. 🤣💃 Right, over to you lovely lot…. What’s your win this week? Big or small, I want to hear it…..And what’s your whine? Get it off your chest… work, kids, life, technology behaving like technology usually does…

Heading back to the UK on Sunday after a few unforgettable weeks away celebrating finishing my Masters.. No caves this time. But snorkelling with sea turtles and island hopping around Hawaii to now cheering on England from Vancouver Island, it’s certainly been an adventure! I know Paris is coming up, and I can’t wait to catch up on everything I’ve missed and hear all about it. See you all back in the chats soon. 😊 What have I missed you wonderful lot???? 🌟 💛 ✈️ 💛 🏖️ 💛 🌋 💛 🌟

Hi everyone 😊 I wanted to share some exciting news! 🎉 I have accepted a position as a Software Engineer / Data Scientist at Geotechnics. In this role, I am working on automating their manual lab processes using software and data solutions. It is initially a three-month contract, but I am really enjoying the work so far. I feel very grateful to be gaining hands-on industry experience while continuing to look for long-term opportunities 🙏✨ It feels much better to be learning, working, and growing rather than just sitting at home and searching for jobs 😊 Thank you all for your support and encouragement! 💐
