 Hi, I'm really excited to do this because I've had probably what's a bit of an unusual career and that I started off and I trained to be a musical theatre and I spent 15, 20 years in the West End on national tours. I did cruises around the world and stuff. It was great but then I hit 30 and I couldn't kick my legs up as high as I used to so I had to kind of think about how I'd retrain. I went into occupational therapy using dance as a form of therapy and I worked with a lot of local trusts, NHS trusts offering tailored dance sessions to people with mental health issues, learning disabilities, all sorts. From there that kind of got me into this world and I absolutely loved it. I worked for another company. I did try twice to get into West Sussex County Council because I'd always wanted to be part of it. I'd always wanted to be part of local government, civil service, people that help people and that really make a difference to others. I got in eventually and I can honestly say I have never been happier. I have never been as happy in a job as I am now in my entire life. I feel valued, I feel relevant, I feel like my opinions matter and it's fantastic. Once you get into the council, once you get into working here, the opportunities are untold. The training and support of not just the senior team but your colleagues, it's brilliant. Once you're in, you can carve out your own career because it's huge. It's absolutely huge what you can do. I think my particular story is really important to hear because we don't all grow up sort of knowing what we want to do and we can change our minds and things and I think within West Sussex County Council you can, you can grow, you can explore and you can really thrive and yeah I absolutely love it.
