I drive a golf cart to the office. During the two-minute journey, I might bump into a giant tortoise, a kangaroo, or Richard Branson waving good morning.

In April 2022, I started working at Richard Branson's Necker Island resort in the British Virgin Islands (BVI). I began as the guest services manager and, in January 2023, became the deputy general manager.

Before I came to Necker, I worked as an events and sales manager in London. I've always kept my eye on Virgin Limited Edition because it felt more my pace.

I'd lived abroad before working as a cast member for Walt Disney World in Florida for seven years after university, but I'd never lived on an island.

I saw the head of guest services role, and I sent my rsum. They invited me for an interview, and I made it to the final stage. I told my husband we might have to move, and he said, "Alright. Let's do it."
