Sarah first started working in finance/accounting in 2013, whilst studying part time for her AAT.

Sarah decided to go back into education last year to study for her CIPD Level 3 at evening college, she likes to keep up to date with training when she can.

Sarah's favourite Trueman Change Value is Be Your Best – "I think sometimes people can feel pressured by the ideals that we see on social media and by comparing our success to others. This value to me is all about focusing on your own achievements and being the best that you can be, rather than focusing on external influences!"
