``With the military, everything is pretty much command and control. Here as a scrum master, I am now in a position where my responsibility is to work with the team and to be a coach.

``When graduating from Leeds Beckett University, I genuinely didn’t know what I wanted to do with my career. My first role was recruiting technologists from Junior Software Engineers, to Tech Leads. I remember my first day all I heard were words like Java, .Net, Business Analyst and I thought to myself – how will I ever know what these things mean? Now here I am working in a digital role for Mastek as their Graduate Programme Lead.``
