Me.
Hello!
To anyone wondering who I am, I am employee number 2 at Tailored Thinking, next to Founder and Chief Positive Deviant, Rob Baker. Rob was looking to expand his team and picked me to be the chosen one! Whilst we are a micro-business, we have a number of collaborators, partners and facilitators. However, I’m formally employee number 2, so by hiring me the company has actually doubled in size.
My role?
Content developer (creating and developing content for the website, social media platforms and more).
My background
I recently graduated with a master’s degree in Media and Journalism. But I persistently found myself edging towards the creative and digital marketing side of things. This lead me to apply for a digital marketing apprenticeship with a fantastic company called The Juice Academy! They’re so current and really on the money in terms of digital marketing and content creating so it was a non brainer to apply.
Outside of work
Outside of work I am super social and love to be around friends and family. Some of my favourite things in life include football, animals (especially dogs), music and exploring. I love going to music festivals and events with friends, particularly in summer. I have played football pretty much all of my life and currently play for Wallsend Ladies.
Why Tailored Thinking?
For me, I like to help people and contribute to change in society. So, to be able to work for such a positive organisation that makes real life change to people’s jobs, lives and organisations is something I am really passionate about. This is also my first job working for a professional business, so it’s really exciting for me.
How have I found it so far?
Starting a new job is always daunting. Particularly in a global pandemic! As a graduate, going into the working world, I had lots of doubts leading up to my role. Will I be good enough? What happens if Rob doesn’t like my work? But I couldn’t have asked for someone better to work for. We still haven’t actually met in person, but we zoom daily, and it almost feels very normal. He even sent me this welcome pack before I started which was really kind.
My Tailored Thinking welcome pack.
My first few weeks at Tailored Thinking and I have done so much already! Blog writing, graphic design, video editing, meeting with clients and so much more. Having the freedom to use my own initiative and imagination when creating content is what makes it so enjoyable.
In the future I am going to be writing about my experiences with applying positive psychology in my work. I’m no specialist but it’s something I’m really interested in and love to try new things. If you would like to follow my journey at Tailored Thinking, then you can connect with me on LinkedIn or keep your eyes peeled for more upcoming blogs!
Thanks for reading :)
