Be proactive - chances are your dream job won't fall into your lap right away! Ask the right people the right questions, reach out to people on LinkedIn, value the expertise and experience of others and actively seek it out. Also, don't get in your own way - believe in your own skills and abilities, remind yourself of how far you've come, and remember rejection is normal and not a reflection of your potential. Just a reflection of one impression at one moment in time and an opportunity for self-improvement and growth - humble yourself to be open to constructive feedback!

Cambridge was hard-work. But I got through it, and made it to the other side. I proved a lot to myself - of what I'm capable of when I put my mind to something and of how resilient I am. I carry that with me even now in my new job.

I know it sounds super cliche but if you can find something you enjoy doing you're almost certainly going to be insentivised to do it more often and do it well. Obviously there will be times in your career where you struggle and find things difficult but if you have a goal you're determined to work towards and you can find enjoyment in your work you will succeed.

Even when it feels like you have a setback, there are always opportunities to learn, and having that mindset makes those setbacks so much more manageable and surmountable. If something hasn't gone to plan, rather than feeling too badly about it and beating yourself up, asking yourself what the greatest learning points were makes sure you can gain from the experience. One of the most important things I've realised is that I can also ask others what they think the main take aways are too - and that fresh perspective can really drive your own motivation and help approach new situations from a different angle going forward! Even in circumstances where things have gone really well, it's always worth reflecting why it went well in the first place, and what can be taken away from this and applied to other problems and situations. Your colleagues are some of your greatest learning resources, and no question is ever silly, so don't be afraid just to ask!

Nothing resonates more than expressing big ideas that you are passionate about. There is no such thing as an idea too big, change happens in small incremental steps in the right direction. Inspire others to see the world in a more positive light. Always be willing to learn and never give up!
