1 Tell us your Fazenda Story

I started with Fazenda in the start of May this year. Before starting I had, what I think a lot of people would say, a rather long interview process with five interviews both in person and online. I know many people might have lost interest but to be honest, for me, I thought that it just made it more clear that this is a serious company and that the interview process was very thorough rather than just hiring anyone for the job.

When I started I had six weeks of training with some travel across the sites which I loved! It was so great to see all the other restaurants and learn so much about Fazenda and the role. Then, we had a few weeks where Fazenda Bishopsgate was still a building site, so Katherine (Relationships & Events Executive) and I were sitting and working all over the place. Seeing the venue now and remembering that building site still amazes me!

2 What are three things that you love about your home, London, and your home, Sweden?

Apart from my family and friends, which I feel is a given, three things I love about London are:

1. My house.
2. Living so close to the countryside but working in the huzz and buzz that is London. I love the contrasts.
3. My furry little house cat, Rufus.

Three things I love about Sweden:

1. Swedish Food. Nothing beats Swedish food.
2. The closeness to everything. You can basically walk everywhere and it doesn't take long at all to go from one place to another.
3. Swedish summers (except the 3000 wasps that one is allergic to).

3 What would you recommend to anyone wishing to go into relationship marketing?

If you are a social butterfly and love working with people and building new connections, relationships marketing is definitely is something for you! Every day is also very different so if you like that too, then again, this is a role you'd love.

4 What are you currently reading?

I'm currently reading Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover. I love Colleen Hoover and all her books. This one has been a bit slow at the start but hopefully it will pick up soon. Another book I would highly recommend is The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Never cried so much at an ending of a book!

5 What is the last TV series you binged and loved?

Might be a bit embarrassing but I am a lover of reality TV shows so I probably would say the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Or Married at First Sight. Or The Kardashians. I just love watching other people's drama knowing that I have the least drama-filled life.

6 What's your favourite Fazenda Bishopsgate dish, wine and dessert?

Favourite dish would be Tonnato Vitello - probably the best food invention out there.
Favourite wine is definitely the Catena Appellation Paraje Altamira.
Favourite dessert is probably the Fazenda Sweet Box. For someone who struggles with decision anxiety (is that even a word?), having a box filled with various small little treats, is perfect for me!
