What do you like about your job and the company?

Working for a soft drinks powerhouse, Coca Cola, I am fortunate enough to be an ambassador for them. My role involves continuously building strong relationships with outlet owners to get our brand out there for the consumers. As well as, creating awareness of our new and limited edition drinks for special occasions e.g. Christmas. I also get to go to two conferences each year to gain an understanding of how Coca Cola are performing and also allows me to socialise with other individuals across the business. Coca Cola provide excellent flexibility when I have personal priorities and management care for my well-being. Also, I get recognised for my hard work by senior management and board of directors by using an internal social media platform where I can share my wins.

Greatest achievements

Winning the yearly incentive and being No.1 in the country was a great achievement. Utilising the knowledge I have learnt from my manager and my team I was able to achieve the required targets for our brand 'Schweppes' in a short amount of time in the company. I posted my win via our internal social media app and it went viral in the company and my work was recognised by the board of directors.

My career journey showed you don't always need the experiences - and i believe more should be done to hire on potential.

Everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued — not just once they’re in the role, but throughout the hiring journey. Creating a truly inclusive workplace starts at the first touchpoint — the candidate experience matters more than ever. Diversity doesn’t end at hiring — it’s about building cultures where people from all backgrounds can thrive. Representation opens doors, but inclusion keeps people in the room. Treat every candidate like a future colleague — because they might just be. The best talent won’t always follow a traditional path — be ready to see potential, not just paper. Hiring isn’t just about filling roles — it’s about shaping culture.
