An experience worth waiting for!


Have you ever met someone and thought - what must it be like?
When I was sat on the edge of my seat listening to the most inspirational woman I have ever met – this is how I felt.


It only takes a few wise words from someone great to make you see that your career is in your hands; all that needs to grow is the experience you hold within it.
I hope that in 5 years time, I can stand in a room full of people that have a dream, and make a difference to their lives. My interview with the Editor of Women’s Health, Farrah Storr was beyond inspirational – I was so amazed by her life story as she spoke “I am where I am today through experience, I stuck out the jobs I hated most to get to where I am today”
Stood in front of me was a women with such an incredible career – this is where I want to be – this is the life I wanted for myself, the thought of a career suddenly became less about money and more about a dream.

The most amazing aspect of Farrah’s life was that she never switched off, she later said “When you work in the industry, you find that you never switch off. I have a note pad next to my bed, and I will wake up in the night if I have an idea” It was so clear that Journalism was such a passion – she added “The most rewarding part of the job is when you see someone reading your magazine. The other day I was on the train and I saw a lady reading the magazine. It makes you realize all those long days are worth the end result”
