Career changes aren't always straightforward, but they can lead to somewhere unexpected. ✨

After transitioning from a background in neuroscience to hospitality and then into recruitment, Evie had to adapt to a new way of working and find her footing while developing strategies that worked for her ADHD.

Now, she's helping others access opportunities across the creative industries, and building a future for herself in the sector too.

More from Evie coming soon! 👀

Liberation, for me, speaks to the internal work so many of us are doing to be better allies, siblings, activists, lovers, mothers, etc...
