I am Head of People & Culture here at Civic. I always knew from early on that I wanted to work in HR. After completing my A Levels I went on to complete a degree in Human Resource Management. With over 20 years of HR experience initially gained in the retail industry before joining Civic, I have to say I love working in the built environment and the creativity that brings.

Being part of the People & Culture team, you get to know many people across the business and that is part of why I love the job – it is all down to the people. Of course, working in the field of People & Culture no two days are the same, and that for me is fantastic.

Outside of work I love spending time with my family and trying to fit in some form of exercise to balance out my love of food.

When asked to pick an item that meant something to me, I chose my daughters first ever toy, her beloved pink monkey. When she was born, she was smaller than the monkey, so it is a constant reminder that something so tiny can grow into this truly amazing being, and if monkey’s can be pink anything is possible!
