Since starting my apprenticeship at insideKENT just five months ago , I have really enjoyed getting to work with such a dynamic and driven team , so much so that I forget that I ’ ve only been here for a short time . I am looking forward to growing my skills during the year ahead and undertaking lots of new exciting responsibilities as I progress in my role .
Outside of my new apprenticeship , I am very intrigued by Kent ’ s history and I particularly love learning about my family who have lived in Kent for over eight generations ! As my fellow iK team will tell you , I can often be heard sharing a fascinating fact or two about general topics and our county ’ s past .
I also like to listen to music and read - my favourite genre is definitely crime fiction . Therefore , when I ’ m not in the office , you might find me at some of Kent ’ s top heritage attractions or music venues . Check out some of my recommendations below .

TOP EATS When stopping by Tenterden , restaurant Hoof & Hook is always my go-to place for a sit down meal . I heavily recommend their freakshakes - the chocolate is my personal favourite .
TOP ACTIVITY As soon as the weather warms up once again , I can ’ t wait to head down to Hythe ’ s Royal Military Canal to go canoeing with my family . The canal is also a favourite spot of mine for its rich history , with links back to the Napoleonic times .
TOP ENTERTAINMENT Margate ’ s Dreamland is one of my top concert venues , especially for their annual Margate Summer Series . I ’ m so excited to be going to see Billy Ocean and Sister Sledge in August !
