What is one thing that surprised you about working for Costa? / How did you get into your current role?
Company Culture and Career Growth Opportunities
What advice would you give your younger self?
Believe in yourself, this is something I will always be telling myself.
What advice would you give someone else considering starting a new role?
Take the leap, it may seem scary at first but everybody is capable of achieving great things.
What accomplishment are you most proud of?
If I had to choose only one accomplishment, it would be the opportunity I had to train a new team in Atlanta and supporting the opening of the first Costa in the US.
What motivates you?
Achieving personal milestones or dreams while doing something I am passionate about, including making a positive impact on others.
What skills outside of work do you think help you in work?
Engaging in creative pursuits like art, music, and writing sometimes helps me to think outside the box and bring innovative ideas and being an occasional social butterfly can help towards my anxiety with my ability to communicate effectively.
What’s a mistake you made early on in your career and what did you learn from it?
Fear of Asking for Help and trying to do everything on my own but realising that it’s okay to ask for help and collaborate with others improved my efficiency and built stronger relationships.
What are you currently excited about in your job?
On a personal level, tackling new and interesting projects that push me to grow and develop my skills, but also continuing to work with another supportive and dynamic team that inspires and motivates me to make a meaningful contribution to Costa and seeing the positive effects of our work.
