1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I look after the website L'Oreal Access - an online platform for professional hairdressers to learn and book courses with our many wonderful brands. I make sure the website is working well communicate to the IT team any issues. As well as this, I find ways to increase user engagement with the site such as CRM and push notifications. I enjoy working with our educators the most our amazing professional teachers who require Access to work well.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Have not been her for long and am already becoming more confident in Presenting, one of my biggest fears. It is very easy to speak up and contribute at L'Oreal. It has been very good for developing communication skills and organisation as deadlines are involved in my role.
