I'm currently completing my PGCE in Secondary Maths so essentially I'm a maths teacher but still in training, I finish at the end of this month. An interesting fact about me is that I have a twin brother (but no I cannot feel his feelings or read his mind unfortunately). I like looking into conspiracy theories, I'd be happy to hear the most interesting one you have heard and whether you believe it or not. I also enjoy playing and watching football and I support Arsenal so this alone should tell you how much patience I have. I look forward to meeting you - feel free to ask me anything else  

I started with BT back in 2020 as a Technical Consultant Graduate but have since been mapped off onto the fast track program for graduates as a Service Enablement Team Leader. 

Proud to say that I’m a Aleto alumni from last years program and have previous experience from being a  buddy from my time at university and BT. On top of this I currently reverse mentor one of our senior managers within the CFU I work in.

One of my main interests is travelling and remaining active as this gives me an opportunity to meet new people of different cultures which I find this incredibly rewarding.

I'm a final year Degree Apprentice Software Engineer at BT. I have been working at BT for the last 4 years, joining straight after sixth form. In my spare time, I freelance curating and developing websites for clients. Outside of work I’m a huge fitness enthusiast, I’ll pretty much sign up to and try anything that gets my heart rate pumping! I also enjoy new experiences and meeting people.
