Having joined EY straight from school, my willingness to learn has been instrumental in shaping my professional journey. It has allowed me to embrace new challenges with enthusiasm and curiosity, rather than fear or hesitation. This eagerness to learn has not only helped me to quickly pick up necessary skills and knowledge for my role, but has also shown to my colleagues that I am adaptable, have a growth mindset, and I am committed to delivering to the best of my ability. Remember, as an apprentice you are not expected to know all the answers, so don't be afraid to ask lots of questions and keep learning!

What do you like about your job and the company?
Throughout my time at EY, I have been fortunate to work with some great teams and individuals. Being part of a diverse and supportive team means I feel safe to express myself and try new things. My colleagues are more than just coworkers; they're friends and mentors who inspire me to continually improve and grow. It is always rewarding to overcome adversities as a team, and celebrate the wins. I look forward to continue building my network, so that I can learn from the experience of others and explore new opportunities.
Greatest achievements
As a keen baker, I am often seen in the office with freshly baked goods, and as part of EY's initiative to build a better working world, I have been able to take part in multiple fundraising events. As well as raising lots of money, my highlights include winning the EY Bake-Off, and creating a gingerbread robot (Rob-EY)! I really value working for an organisation that gives back to the community and encourages me to bring my full self to work.

Putting yourself out there can feel uncomfortable, but that’s where growth happens. It’s easy to stick with what you know, but stepping into the unknown is how you learn and expand your skills. For example, when I applied for the EY Degree Apprenticeship, I was nervous about putting myself in such a competitive environment. But the challenge of the application process pushed me to improve my skills, prepare thoroughly, and stay focused. While it was tough at times, the sense of achievement when I received the offer was unforgettable. Overcoming challenges like that builds confidence and shows you what you’re capable of. The more you embrace discomfort, the more you realize how much you can grow.

One of the key messages I tell people applying for apprenticeships is to prepare. Research is paramount, and often assessments and interviews can be simply a matter of practicing. If you prepare for as many scenarios as possible, you are less likely to be caught off guard. The more you can practice your strengths, the better chance you have of performing under pressure. Additionally, take failure as a learning experience. From my personal experience, there are going to be many rejections, and the only way to see success is to take it lightly and improve on your mistakes. It's important to keep a positive outlook and treat each opportunity like a fresh start, because no matter how it may seem the hard work will most likely pay off.
