A key long-term goal I aim to achieve is to see a product on shelf that I saw through from ideation to commercialisation. 

I never thought I'd work at a household name like Unilever – from growing up with brands like Paddle Pop and Dove to now contributing to their success, it truly feels that life has come full circle.

The coolest thing about this job is the real-life experience. For me is it not a specific task that I have enjoyed the most, it is the new sense of professionalism I have gained.

Don’t discount your other work experiences that aren’t corporate-based – focus on the skills they’ve given you instead, these soft skills are always transferrable and relevant.

My role is to support and manage this process for them. It ranges from supplier management, to commercial negotiations, to finalising the contract with our legal team.

I chose to apply for BAT for the career opportunities that BAT can provide, but also the amazing perks that we have access to. It’s a global FMCG company with a bit of a twist that really prioritised the development of their people.

In a nutshell, the people! I have met some of the most awesome, friendly, and supportive people to walk alongside me and help me in this first stage of my career!
