My vocation so much has been significantly from clear-cut. I would by no means have predicted I would have landed in a consumer providers role for a digital company! 

I graduated with a Biomedical Science degree in 2013 and labored in laboratories specialising in health care research. I knew fairly immediately that getting a lab technician wasn’t a fantastic match – I was keen to discover a men and women-centric part.
