Apprentice
I beat 30,000 candidates to reach the final of the 2008 series of the hit TV show BBC1 The Apprentice, watched by over 10 million people! It really was the business interview from hell. Would I do it all again?
Without a doubt, yes! My steepest learning curve to date.

Entrepreneur
I am a social entrepreneur; helping young people across various projects designed to empower them in enterprise.
I thoroughly enjoy the challenges and diversity of new business ventures. I offer consultancy as a half-day service.
-
Enterprise
I engage with students in a range of ways; running enterprise days, business workshops and clinics, careers days, employability skills, speaking at awards events, and general motivational talks.
I have started working with some local schools on a long term basis, for example helping to set up in-school businesses.

Person
I am 33 years old, based in Yorkshire and love my life. Many would describe me as ambitious, straight talking and driven.
Away from the office there is a very different side to me. Countryside, horses, dogs, cats and a love for films.

TeenBiz
From the 1st January every month two students will receive up to £500 start up funding, a business mentor and a start up pack. We're calling it 'Business in a Box' which will give students items they need to do business for real; for example Companies House set up, business cards, a website, a stationary voucher, office space, USB sticks, logo design, legal advice and virtual PA service. Winners will also receive a Natwest Business Bank Account.
Girls Out Loud
Being a teenage girl in the world today is a challenge. Attempts to retain an element of individuality are threatened on a daily basis by the media, celebrity culture, premature sexualisation, peer pressure and bullying, lack of positive, strong female role models, privacy invasion and misuse of the internet, ladette behaviour and increase in aggressive behaviour amongst girls, to name a few.
