I studied psychology and neuroscience for five years before I started this business – it will always be a passion of mine.

Working at Great Ormond Street Hospital whilst I was studying.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
My team and social media followers. Having them spur me on is incredibly inspiring and motivating.

At the beginning of the business, I was having to do every single thing myself. The baking, the deliveries, the finances, the admin etc. It was just me.

Recruitment and fundraising!

The food industry is incredibly exciting. It’s constantly evolving at such a fast pace and I love being involved.

TEA OR COFFEE?
Tea. I’m obsessed with homemade ginger tea at the moment and I love a matcha latte.

The biggest bowl of avocado pesto pasta. Its absolute heaven. I’ve even got my entire team hooked!

Always live and love fully and don’t do anything by halves.

Oysters.
