She worked alongside her degree, mainly doing bar-work - not to be mistaken with Bar work - and is a trained mixologist, an expert in making cocktails. She has also been working for an international bank in their financial crimes division and has funded all her studies, which have cost tens of thousands of pounds, through work and student loans.
