Describe working at BLUE in 3 words
Passionate, inspiring, and dedicated.
Your proudest moment?
Graduating with a master’s degree in Marketing is one of my proudest moments in life. It was a lot of hard work, but it was worth it!
What is the best piece of advice you’ve heard/ favourite quote?
Life happens when you’re busy making other plans. It’s true, so I always try to live in the moment and take every opportunity that comes my way.
What’s your favourite maritime fact?
The main transport mode for global trade is via the ocean, with around 90% of all goods transported by ship. To me, this shows how vital the marine industry is to our way of life, and how it affects every single one of us. From the food we choose in our local supermarket, to the clothes we’re able to buy and how we refuel our cars.
Most influential book you’ve read?
There is No Planet B by Mike Berners-Lee. It’s a fascinating read about the environmental challenges society faces in the 21st century and what the world really needs to be doing to overcome these global issues.
