Abi is an intelligent and capable individual who has shown flexibility and initiative in here time working with the Rain Gods, where she demonstrated great flexibility that led customers to go out of their way on several occasions to feedback to me on how impressed they were - and you have to go a long way above and beyond to make that happen!

I’ve worked with Abigail on creating engaging content strategy for NACUE’s communication channels (social media, blogs and newsletters). She also supported us in delivering our annual flagship events (Tata Varsity Pitch Competition and Student Enterprise Conference) by liaising with speakers on the day, creating and scheduling social media content and preparing write ups and blog posts after the events. Abbie helped us build-up the engagement with our student-led societies network, which resulted in the establishment of the NACUE’s Student Enterprise Advisory Board. She is friendly, fast-learner with great communication skills and I believe she would be a great asset to any team.
