Give an overview of the duties, functions and responsibilities of your job.

My job role consists of answering emails and phones, requesting agent authorisation, processing all codes, calling clients to help them with the onboarding process and requesting professional clearance.

What is a typical working day like for you?

Every day is different at TAP, however I always start my morning by answering client emails and completing any checks I have to do. I will then answer the phone and scan and send any post we receive for our clients. In the afternoon I will call clients and finish my emails.

What particular challenges do you regularly encounter?

The long waiting time on the phone to speak to HMRC.

How are you able to use your skills to solve problems for clients?

Being very organised, having good time management, and making a to-do list.

What is your favourite part of the job?

The fact that every day is different, and the people!

Tell us about your proudest achievement.

My proudest achievement would have to be becoming Senior Women British Double Mini Champion in 2023. I gained this title at the age of 17, competing against people a lot older than me and a lot more experienced from all over Britain. And also competing for Team Great Britain in the Double Mini World Championships.

How would you colleagues describe you?

I asked my colleagues and they said I am The Baby, very funny, and a good night out.

What are you reading/binge watching at the moment?

I am currently watching Happy Valley, a police drama. I love shows about the police.

Who do you admire, and why?

I admire my mum, as she is a great example that being hard working will get you where you want to be. She is also just like another best friend in my life.
