During my final ten years within the corporate world, I worked as a senior operations manager. This involved managing business processes, the management team, and their direct reports. The business operation involved multiple workstreams and had both call centre and administration functions. Due to voluntary redundancy, and a massive leap of faith, I made a choice to leave the corporate world. For the last year, I have been completing a post-grad diploma in Human Resource Management, studying full time. I am now in my final year of study and by November 2022 I will have obtained an MSc in Human Resource Management. During this time I have also been working as an HR consultant for a variety of small businesses and charities.
