After finishing university, I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted to do – until my mum (who also works here) suggested I join the team. Forgive the cliché, but I honestly haven’t looked back since. The relationships I’ve built with both the team and hundreds of incredible teachers across the UK are what make this role so rewarding. Not a single day goes by without laughing out loud with colleagues or chatting to my favourite group leaders.

What really keeps me motivated is knowing I play a small part in sending thousands of students all over the world to create memories that last a lifetime. Being involved in those experiences – even from behind the scenes – is something I never take for granted. It’s genuinely one of the most fulfilling and rewarding jobs I can imagine, and I’d recommend it to anyone.

When it comes to trip planning, my advice is always to get in early. The sooner we get the ball rolling, the better the options and prices available. I’m also a big believer in involving students in the planning process — their input often leads to higher engagement and an even smoother trip. Wherever possible, I also encourage on‑the‑go lunches so students can experience local food and culture (especially great for language students getting to put their skills into practice).

Outside of work, I keep things busy. You’ll usually find me gaming, at the gym, watching UFC, building Lego (yes, really), or catching up with friends. Somewhere in there, I also have a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and statistics — but I’m still undecided on whether that counts as interesting or not.”
