So where do you work and what do you do?
I work at the legal aid agency which is part of the Ministry of Justice.
What do you love about working in the public sector?
I provide support and legal advice for people who in need of it and that’s the real appeal for what I do. You get to have a positive impact on people’s lives, which can be very rewarding. The thing I love about my job the most is the people. I have a fantastic working environment and always have the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues across the whole organisation.
