Grilling:

When did you start working at Kudize?

I started working at Kudize in July 2023.

What qualification are you most proud of and why?

The qualification I’m most proud of would have to be my A levels as I achieved all the grades I hoped for despite having all my lessons online due to COVID; I worked incredibly hard for them.

What’s your favourite thing about working in and around Hassocks?

My favourite thing about working in Hassocks would be its location is very convenient and easy to get to, with lots of shops around too in case I fancy a browse after work. You also get to see lots of sweet little dogs walking about!

What’s your favourite thing about working with Kudize kids?

My favourite thing about working with Kudize kids is definitely hearing some funny stories and things they say completely out of thin air- their imaginations really are quite something!

Do you have a secret talent? Or can you tell us something about yourself that most people would not know?

A talent that some people may not know about me is that I have a black belt in karate which I achieved when I was 13, and that I’m also currently coaching the advanced tap dance competition team at my university!

What’s your super power when at work?

My superpower at work I think would have to be helping some of the much shyer children come out of their shell and get them involved with lots of games we play.

What’s your favourite time of year – and why?

My favourite time of the year would have to be either summer or winter – I love being able to relax out in the sun and enjoy the heat but also stay cosy inside in front of a fire at Christmas! My birthday is also on Christmas Day so I’m a little biased!

Your favourite kids’ book?

My favourite kids book growing up was definitely Little Miss Chatterbox from the Mr. Men series, I have such fond memories of being read that book every night before going to sleep.

Tell us what’s on the top shelf of your fridge right now

On the top shelf of my fridge right in this moment is some leftover food I made last night for dinner – meal prep is essential as a university student!

What did you want to be when you grew up?

When I was younger I used to want to be lots of things when I grew up, varying from jobs such as a teacher to a dentist to a professional horse rider for a short period of time!
