For a long time, the conversation was focused on gender, but since Black Lives Matter we’ve been talking a lot more about race. Our Race at Work Charter gives us a clear way forward and we’re hiring a lot more diverse talent in Risk.

I studied Biochemical Engineering at university – so, certainly not your typical financial services background. It just goes to show that no matter what background you have, you can succeed at Barclays if you play to your strengths, persevere and are curious to learn.

I studied Psychology at university. It was there that I realised I was more interested in the data side of research, rather than the theory, and came across Barclays Internal Audit. I spotted familiar ground: planning and conducting testing, and writing reports – so I took the leap and now here I am.

I majored in Organisation Theory and I was keen to put what I had learnt to use in a Banking environment. As I explored the cultures and offerings from different Banks, Barclays really stood out as the place that could provide everything I was looking for.
