Over 20 years experience in sales, marketing and commercial roles within the retail and grocery industry and currently Head of Industry at Meta.  Katy is passionate about the importance of contributing to a world that supports fairness and equality, both as a mother of a future female leader, and as someone who holds strong values in women raising up women.

I’m a first year LLB Law student at the University of Bristol. Outside of my studies I have a passion for matters of environmental social governance (ESG), reading books and most importantly watching ‘Girlfriends’ on Netflix!

Among many other things, I’m most excited about empowering young women into their chosen career fields by coming up with innovative ideas for programmes/events BelEve could host to get them one step closer. I’ve been helped out so much by the civil service programme I’m currently on with BelEve, so I look forward to give other girls that same help!
